About NAV

What is NAV?

UNINETT
NTNU

Network Administration Visualized is an advanced software suite to monitor large computer networks. It automatically discovers network topology, monitors network load and outages, and can send alerts on network events by e-mail and SMS, allowing for flexible configuration of alert profiles.

NAV was originally developed at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) since 1999, to meet the needs of the university's campus network operators. The Norwegian national research network, UNINETT, became involved in 2001, and has been leading the development of NAV since 2006, on behalf of all universities and university colleges in Norway.

NAV is free, available under the GNU GPLv2 license.
