ABSTRACT
Network management can range from complex to simple. In some cases (particularly for larger systems), network management is performed by a dedicated team of technicians supported by specialized hardware and software systems. In other cases (more commonly in smaller systems), network management tasks are performed on an ad-hoc basis by people with a variety of job titles. Also, different types of systems monitor different aspects of a network; some focus on
hardware, some on the IP layer, and some on the applications software. No matter what, end users of the video network need to know what to do (or who to call) in the event of a network problem.
