          the tool descriptions.  The keywords can be used as a sub-
          ject index into the catalog.

          Section 3, the main body of the catalog, contains the
          entries describing network management tools.  The tool
          entries in Section 3 are presented in alphabetical order, by
          tool name.  The tool descriptions all follow a standard for-
          mat, described in the introduction to Section 3.

          Following the catalog, there is an appendix that contains a
          tutorial on the goals and practice of network management.

          The compilation and editing of this catalog was sponsored by
          the Defense Communications Engineering Center (DCEC), con-
          tract DCA100-89-C-0001.  The effort grew out of an initial
          task to survey current internet management tools.  The cata-
          log is largely, however, the result of volunteer labor on
          the part of the NOCTools Working Group, the User Services
          Working Group, and many others.  Without these volunteer
          contributions, the catalog would not exist.  The support
          from the Internet community for this endeavor has been
          extremely gratifying.

          Several individuals made especially notable contributions.
          Mike Patton, Paul Holbrook, Mark Fedor and Gary Malkin were
          particularly helpful in composition and editorial review,
          while Dave Crocker provided essential guidance and
          encouragement.  Bob Enger was active from the first with the
          gut work of chairing the Working Group and building the
          catalog.  Phill Gross helped to christen the NOCTools Work-
          ing Group, to define its scope and goals, and to establish
          its role in the IETF.  Mike Little contributed the formative
          idea of enhancing and publicizing the management tool survey
          through IETF participation.

          Responsibility for any deficiencies and errors remains, of
          course, with the editor.
