The State of the Network
Something Wrong?You can check the status of the switches and some other machines on the network in Sitterson and elsewhere using Netcheck. The ITS control center runs a monitor on campus links, click on a link and it will show you utilization. They also offer other performance measuring tools you can access to check on server or network performance. The Network: Now and When?If you're interested in seeing how the campus is set up, here's a picture showing the topology. In 2008 costruction on the new Fredrick P. Brooks Jr. building was completed. In the Brooks building we have gigabit connections throughout. Sitterson also received some new network hardware, and currently we have a mix of 100 Mpbs and gigabit connections.In 2002 we finished a project to update the networking infrastructure. Our long term goal is to get 100 mbps to every machine that can handle it, and to build an infrastructure that will be flexible enough to handle new technologies as they are developed. The upgrade is being done in two phases, an upgrade from current switches to newer switching and routing hardware is in progress, and a complete rewiring of Sitterson completed the summer of 2002. Migration to the new plant will be finished by the end of 2002. The Network:
