I remember seeing a demonstration at ERCC of a system called GRAIL which ran on a SUN workstation and monitored activity on the Meiko Computing Surface. It mapped the network and gave information on CPU activity, but I can't remember what information it provided on channel and link activity. Does anyone know what stage GRAIL is at now? I seem to recall that it was a Marconi package, and people at Strathclyde were involved. Not much help, I'm afraid, but it might jog a memory or two...
