<div>I impelmented PNP a while ago and quite liked it. I had to touch each host config to add the extended service info, which was sort of a pain (I didn't think how I could do it otherwise), but overall it was quite easy to implement and covered a lot of bases.</div>

<div>Overall, however, I'm looking for *devices* that I could put on the network that are easily pollable (cacti, nagios, etc) that can give me a good picture of certain critical things, such as network latency or saturation...</div>
