ADVISORY/Network Physics Shows NetWorld+Interop's Network Blocks Worm Attacks.News Editors/High-Tech Writers ADVISORY...for Thursday (May 13) NetWorld+Interop 2004 Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2004 WHERE AND WHEN: LAS VEGAS, Nevada, May 13, 2004 WHAT: Network Physics, the leader in network application management solutions, today announced that the company's NP-2000 product, located in the NetWorld+Interop (N+I) NOC (Network Operations Center) A central or regional location for monitoring a large network. Also called a "network management center" (NMC), "service management center" (SMC) or "network control center" (NCC), a NOC may be used to manage a large enterprise network, , determined that Blaster and Welchia worms are attempting to attack the conference's eNet from both external and internal sources. While the network's firewall is effectively stopping the attacks from outside, there is a second source of computer virus infections coming from the systems of companies participating in the show. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. a spokesperson, these attacks represent a microcosm mi·cro·cosm n. A small, representative system having analogies to a larger system in constitution, configuration, or development: "He sees the auto industry as a microcosm of the U.S. of what enterprises experience today when connections are made to home and wireless networks, etc. The NP-2000 is installed in the N+I eNet DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) A middle ground between an organization's trusted internal network and an untrusted, external network such as the Internet. Also called a "perimeter network," the DMZ is a subnetwork (subnet) that may sit between firewalls or off one leg of a , and is continuously providing real-time views of all aspects of the N+I event network. This information can be accessed via the Network Application Management Community at http://www.networkphysics.com/namc/, as well as at the Network Physics booth # 2753-07 in the Performance Pavilion. The link leads to a bird's eye view of what's occurring on the network, including the top ten booths attempting to infect computers out on the Internet. The Network Physics reports also chart inbound and outbound throughput, packet loss (packet loss declined during the day, averaging a little over 2.5 percent), and the top twenty sources of traffic by application and protocol. For example, during the first day of the show, network traffic peaked at over 40 mbps around lunch when attendees checked e-mail and worked on other personal tasks. A second peak occurred around 5 p.m. Finally, there was a rapid fall-off in traffic after the show closed at 6 p.m. Network Physics is posting the health indicators of the network, real-time, including total utilization of all links; performance of the network infrastructure (e.g., DNS servers A dedicated server or a service within a server that provides DNS name resolution in an IP network. It turns names for Web sites and network resources into numeric IP addresses. DNS servers are used in large companies, in all ISPs and within the DNS system in the Internet, a vital service and Radius servers This is a list of notable RADIUS server implementations.

ABOUT NETWORK PHYSICS: Network Physics is the first company to dynamically link network operations to business objectives. The company's patent-pending technology applies proven physics methodologies to the new network ecosystem -- internal and external networks used by, but not completely controlled by or visible to networking staff. The Network Physics network application management solutions assure the delivery of an enterprise's most critical networked business services by giving IT staff breakthrough visibility of these services via network views based on business-level groupings of actual traffic flows. This enables customers to maximize service quality and uptime, optimize alignment of IT operations with business priorities, and reduce operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales by finding problems faster and smarter. Network Physics was founded in March 1999 and its products are currently being deployed at a wide range of Global 2000 corporations, including Fortune 100 companies and two of the top 10 international banks.
