## Description

NETworkManager is a comprehensive suite of network administration tools designed for the deployment, monitoring, and diagnostic management of enterprise networks. It provides a centralized interface for subnet management, IP address configuration, and wireless network analysis.

The project distinguishes itself by integrating a multi-protocol remote administration client that supports SSH, RDP, VNC, Telnet, and PowerShell sessions within a unified tabbed interface. It further differentiates its capabilities through hardware-level discovery using LLDP and CDP frames, alongside the ability to enforce system-wide administrative policies via centralized configuration files and Active Directory profile imports.

The application covers a broad surface of network utility areas, including real-time health monitoring of host reachability and bandwidth, deep packet diagnostics via port scanning and traceroute, and the management of system-level networking components like DNS caches, ARP tables, and host files. It also includes tools for SNMP hardware control, firewall rule management, and geographic IP resolution via external APIs.

Enterprise distribution is supported through MSI installers and Group Policy.
