Abstract
In this paper, we will design and substantiate the Network Traffic management system(MAGI), which makes up for the weak points of existing Network Monitoring tools and realize dynamic firewall; MRTG, ntop, ethereal, and nettest. The Network Traffic Monitoring and analyzing system differs from existing software-based Network Monitoring tools as MAGI is a combination of software and hardware. Not only the innovative web user interface applied to the software makes analyzing traffic simpler, but it also has a function for monitoring and managing conditions of the hardware. The web user interface implemented with PHP and MySQL helps to use the database and as a result, analyzing data becomes easier. On the hardware part, the appliance is configured as a bridge in a network. As a result, managed system does not have overload.
