Mping is a system for collecting packet delay and loss
statistics in a TCP/IP network using ICMP echo.
Mping is based on original ping(8) with following new features:
- Ability to ping multiple hosts simultaneously
- Prints 10/50/90-percentile as well as min/avg/max.
nfs shell provides user level access to an NFS server, over UDP or TCP,
supports source routing and "secure" (privileged port) mounts. It's a
useful tool to manually check (or show) security problems after a security
scanner has detected them.
NetStrain is a tool to measure practical data throughput between two machines
over a TCP connection. It can be used for performance testing,
stress/stability testing and to demonstrate various network effects. It
supports both IPv4 and IPv6, provided the underlying system does.
Netwib is a network library providing :
- network features :
+ address conversion
+ UDP/TCP clients/servers
+ packet encoding/decoding/displaying
+ spoofing
+ sniffing
+ etc.
- and general features :
+ data conversion
+ linked list, hash
+ portable threads
+ etc.
Using all these functions, a network program can be quickly created.
Nifmon is a curses-based tool for FreeBSD which can be used to monitor network
interfaces (also tun devices).
It displays continously updated statistics for the following quantities:
- total amount of bytes/packets transferred in/out
- bytes/packets transferred in/out during the last second/minute/hour
- a stripped down tcpdump output
You will need super-user permissions in order to use nifmon.
The Packet Debugger (pdb) is a program which allows people to work
with packet streams as if they were working with a source code
debugger. Users can list, inspect, modify, and retransmit any packet
from captured files as well as work with live packet capture.

The olsr.org OLSR daemon is an implementation of the Optimized Link
State Routing protocol. OLSR is a routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc
networks. The protocol is pro-active, table driven and utilizes a
technique called multipoint relaying for message flooding.
If you use Perl to manage interactive sessions with the
command-line interfaces of networked appliances, then you might find
this module useful.
Net::Appliance::Phrasebook is a simple module that contains a number of
dictionaries for the command-line interfaces of some popular network
appliances.
It also supports the use of custom phrasebooks, and of hiearchies of
dictionaries within phrasebooks.
Automating command line interface (CLI) interactions is not a new idea, but can
be tricky to implement. This module aims to provide a simple and manageable
interface to CLI interactions, supporting:
- SSH, Telnet and Serial-Line connections
- Unix and Windows support
- Reuseable device command phrasebooks
Net::HTTP::Spore is an implementation of the SPORE specification.
To use this client, you need to use or to write a SPORE specification of an API.
A description of the SPORE specification format is available at [1].
