Along the course of completion of the research for the project of the Use of Solar Wind in
IOT based Hybrid Power System, I have gained a lot of useful information which would be
used further in the enhancement my knowledge in the field of IOT and hybrid power system.
The research has also helped me in enriching my knowledge in this field and also has helped
in developing a project that would be enhancing the level of process that takes place in a
particular network. However, I would like to state that this would not have been possible
without the help of my supervisor _________________ for guiding me constantly and
provide ample amount of support to me for the completion of the research. It would be huge
injustice on my part if did not thank my evaluators as their evaluation and feedback provided
me with huge amount of guidance for the progress of the research. Additionally, my friends
are not to be left out of this acknowledgement as their contribution has been immense for
conducting the research and also all the people who have associated with this project were of
great help and their support and feedback has been of great help for me.
Heartfelt thanks and warmest wishes,

Abstract
In this paper, we will focus on the features of net flow traffic analysers, advantages in
managing the flow of data packets, working of the solar wind and its product, and the system
requirements required for the implementation of the solar wind net flow traffic analyser. The
literature review has been conducted on the solar wind net flow traffic analyser for analysing
the management of flow of data packets over the network. The NTA helps in monitoring the
wireless bandwidth of the network and patterns of the data packets for traffic management.
The net flow traffic analyser is the amalgamation of different monitoring and reporting tools
for managing the communication between multiple-vendors, management of automatic
scheduling, management of net stream information. It is advantageous to make use of NTA in
monitoring and managing the network resources and devices over the network for controlling
the congestion because it works by focusing on the bandwidth of the data packets.

1. Introduction
The solar wind is capable of providing optimised level of IT and network management
powerful tools. The Solar Wind provides different types of network monitoring and
management tools for managing the flow of data packets over the internet to overcome the
problem of network congestion, loss of data packets, and many others. The product of solar
wind which is undertaken for the research study is Net-Flow Traffic Analyser. It the solar
wind network management tool which is used for capturing the data and information from the
network and convert them in the form of table and charts to manage the traffic congestion
over the corporate network. It helps in analysing the source, destination, and the purpose for
which the data packet is sent. It is capable of collecting the data from multiple sources such
as Net-Stream, J-Flow, N-Flow, and others. The malfunctioning and malicious data packets
can be monitored by making use of solar wind networking tools [1]. The NTA helps in
managing the data packets traffic by providing wireless bandwidth, configuration
management system, WAN management system, Voice over IP address, tracking of network
devices, and management schemes for enabling the correlated IP addresses. The digitization
of every activity requires monitoring of the network traffic for its functionality and operations
to be performed. The sensor technology helps in focusing the amount of congestion available
on the internet. In this paper, we are going to focus on the problem domain associated with
the network management and monitoring tools in controlling the flow of data packets over
the network. The solar wind and its products are the good and efficient system in managing
the control of data packets to be sent to the receivers end [2]. In this paper, we will focus on
the features of net flow traffic analysers, advantages in managing the flow of data packets,
working of the solar wind and its product, and the system requirements required for the
implementation of the solar wind net flow traffic analyser.

2. Problem domain and research questions
The use of solar wind helps in managing problem associated with the disturbance which
occurred in the availability network congestion over the network. The broadcasting of data
packet at low bit rate is the major problem in managing the traffic over the network. In this
paper, we will focus on the following research areas:
1. What are the problems associated with the traditional way of managing the network
congestion by baking use of network management monitoring tools?
2. What are the features of net-flow traffic analyser?
3. What are the advantages of using net-flow traffic analyser for congestion control?
4. How the Net flow traffic analyser works in managing the traffic over the network?
5. What are the systems Requirements to initialize Net Flow Traffic analyser?
3. Background and Project Objective
The literature review has been conducted on the solar wind net flow traffic analyser for
analysing the management of flow of data packets over the network. The NTA helps in
monitoring the wireless bandwidth of the network and patterns of the data packets for traffic
management [3]. It helps in increasing the level of inter-communication between the different
nodes of the topological architecture of the network. The subsequent IP address is highlighted
for receiving the data packets.
3.1 Summary of Literature Review
The monitoring of the network helps in collecting remote data and information. The
classical problems can be effectively solved with the use of software defined network and
networking management program [4]. The SDN has several advantages over traditional
networking in the areas of bootstrapping configuration, resiliency and availability of
alternative routes, network management program, monitoring of network application

performance, and others. From the literature review, it had been find out that the solar winds
are measured on geomagnetic activities [4]. The transmission of low data rates bit stream
should be measured for broadcasting the data over the network in the real time monitoring
system. The focus should be given on sending the warning and alert messages during the non-
availability of renewable source of energy. The system integration can be effectively
improved by automating the system without having any intervention from the human activity
[5]. The sensor technology is used for identifying the atmospheric condition in terms of
humidity, temperature, wind speed, and others. The real time monitoring of the data packets
can be seen which helps in optimising the data flow. The microcontrollers are used for
monitoring the flow of data packets through solar wind to manage the communication
between sender and reciever. The major problems related to the network management and
monitoring system for realizing the functionality and implementation process of data
extraction, automation in identification process, broadband connectivity, and others. Next
generation network monitoring system helps in resolving the problems of the internet such as
traffic management system of the network, quality of service, and others [6]. The next
generation network monitoring system can be developed with the help of IOT sensor
technology.
