The paper presents the design and implementation of a web-based LAN monitoring system. The objectives of this work include the detection of the reachability of network hosts, the provision of a web application interface for easy monitoring and an alert mechanism to signal network failures. The model network architecture consist of a proxy server, a monitoring server, a 3-host representation for Ethernet subnets and a mobile phone interfaced via a Short Message Service (SMS) server with the monitoring server. The host on the network is detected using a ping-like tool. A polling application on the proxy server provides the monitoring server with the list of machines connected to the Internet through gateway proxy. The troubleshooting detects which network hosts are up or down, while the web application provides a graphic interface for viewing dynamic network information on all host machines on the network. A message stream containing the location of critical network disconnection is sent through SMS to a network administrator when such occurs.
