NOC tools
The KAREN Network Operations Centre's suite of open source tools can help you troubleshoot and measure network performance. (These tools are only accessible to KAREN members).
KAREN NOC Services Proof of Concept
REANNZ is using open source operating systems and software to implement a number of network services for KAREN members. Many of the current tools have been created as a result of conversations with KAREN members. Please feel free to contact us with suggestions or comments at noc@karen.net.nz.
Other services that are in development are:
- NAGIOS - measuring availability of devices, circuits and services
- PERFSONAR - performance measurement
- MULTICAST6 – IPv6 Multicast Beacon
KAREN Network Diagnostic Tool
The Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT) was developed by Internet2 to assist users of research and education (R&E) networks to troubleshoot and measure network performance. Further details can be found at

KAREN Router Proxy
The KAREN Router proxy provides KAREN members visibility of core KAREN network components.
Multicast Beacon
The Multicast beacon utilises multicast streams to report to a central server and report what the KAREN beacon can see, and who can see the KAREN beacon. Explanations on how to read the multicast output are provided on the beacon websites, or on the KAREN wiki multicast beacon page.
