bitB is a network monitoring and management tool.

bitB consists of two primary features: Dynamic Topology Maps, Dynamic Data Grids, and Data Collection

Dynamic Topology Maps

There are three types of topology maps: Physical, vPhysical and Logical

The Physical Map shows your network with Physical Devices and Physical Connections. Devices operating at Layer and above are shown on the Physical map. The Physical Topology map is created using auto-layout algorithms based on dynamic network data tables. The data includes IP Route tables, IP ARP tables, MAC Address tables, and Neighbor Discovery Protocols.

The vPhysical Map shows your network from a Layer 2 perspective. Network devices operating at Layer 2 and above are displayed in the vPhysical Topology map. Virtualized Physical Devices and Physical Interfaces are shown on the vPhysical map. The vPhysical Topology map is created using auto-layout algorithms based on dynamic network data tables. The data includes IP Route tables, IP ARP tables, MAC Address tables, and Neighbor Discovery Protocols.

The Logical Map shows your network devices from a Layer 3 perspective. Layer 2 devices are not shown on a Layer 3 Topology Map. The Logical Topology is created using auto-layout algorithms based on dynamic routing tables.

Dynamic Data Grids

There are two types of Dynamic Data Grids: Topology and Pop-up

Topology Data Grids contain the network information used to create the Physical, vPhysical, and Logical Topology Maps.

Pop-Up Data Grids are accessed via dynamic context menus for a selected device. They include grids for Neighbor Discovery Protocols, IP ARP tables, IP Routing Tables, MAC Address Tables.
