Comparison with other LAN utilities

1. NetView, OpenView and other commercial MIB Browsers:

Those fine products, that represent the data really well, access it fast and in fact are essential for Network Administration only represent the part of the data this project does - the part between the HUB slot to workstation NAME.

2. PatchView:

Again, this object, whatever fine is, only represent partial information, between TO to HUB slot, and a large part of it should be inserted manually into it.

3. Trapez and other building management programs:

Here we consider two main disadvantages of such programs their lack of Command Line Interface and a need to insert all the data manually into them.
