Description of Working Group:

The NOC-Tools Working Group will update and revise their catalog to
assist network managers in the selection and acquisition of diagnostic
and analytic tools for TCP/IP Internets.

- Update and revise the reference document that lists what tools are
available,
 what they do, and where they can be obtained.

- Identify additional tools available to assist network managers in
debugging
 and maintaining their networks that were inadvertently omitted in
previous
 NOCTools catalog.

- Identify additional new or improved tools that have become apparent
since the
 last compilation of the reference document.

- Arrange for the central (or multi-point) archiving of these tools in
order to
 increase their availability.

- Establish procedures to ensure the ongoing maintenance of the
reference and
 the archive, and identify an organization willing to do it.
