Pktstat listens to the network and shows the bandwidth being consumed
by packets of various kinds in realtime. It understands some protocols
(including FTP, HTTP, and X11) and adds a descriptive name next to the
entry.
This is a plugin package for Nagios. Quoting from the
main Nagios package:
Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network
problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. It has been
designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under
most *NIX variants as well. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent
checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins"
which return status information to Nagios. When problems are
encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative
contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS,
etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can
all be accessed via a web browser.
Rancid monitors a router's (or device's) configuration, including software
and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc), using CVS. Rancid currently
supports Bay routers, Cisco routers, Juniper routers, Catalyst switches,
Foundry switches, Redback NASs, ADC EZT3 muxes, MRTd (and thus likely IRRd),
Alteon switches, HP Procurve switches, Hitachi routers.
Rancid logs into each of the devices in a router table file, runs various
commands, chomps the output, and emails any differences from the previous
collection to a mail list.
A looking glass is also included with rancid, based on Ed Kern's in use on
http://nitrous.digex.net/. Rancid version has added functions, supports Cisco,
Juniper, and Foundry and uses the login scripts that come with rancid;
so it can use rsh, telnet, or ssh to connect to your router(s).
Xymon is a system for monitoring servers and networks. It has a great deal
of inspiration from the Big Brother monitor, but unlike Big Brother it is
designed to work well whether you need to monitor small network with just
a handful of hosts, or large networks with thousands of hosts.
Xymon is the successor to the bbgen toolkit, which has been available as
an add-on to Big Brother since late 2002. The name change was decided upon
when Xymon acquired enough functionality to be a stand-alone product.
The tools that formed the bbgen toolkit are still present in Xymon
and are quite important for it, so if you have used bbgen before,
Xymon will seem quite familiar.
This is the client.

Frost is a Freenet client that provides newsgroup-like messaging, private
encrypted messages, file upload and download functionality and a file sharing
system.
If this is your first time trying Frost, you'll see its quite different from
other filesharing programs. Its anonymous, and yet has a very personal
atmosphere.
If you know how to use newsgroups, you'll find Frost very easy to use and will
feel right at home. If you're used to other filesharing apps, you should know
that the best way to find what you're looking for is to ask for it. If you
can't find it in the search results, post a message to the relevant board and
someone will respond to you. Common questions are answered in the Support area.
Port of the original Newtella client in Linux/GTK+.
Newtella is a P2P protocol based on Gnutella.
The main difference between Gnutella and Newtella
is that the latter allows only mp3 sharing.
GTorrentViewer is a GTK2-based viewer and editor for BitTorrent meta files. It
is able to retrieve information from trackers, check files, show detailed
information, and modify .torrent files without having to start downloading.
LinuxDC++ is a Linux port of the Direct Connect client DC++. Though it is
primarily aimed at Linux, it has been shown to work on other Unix-based
operating systems as well. It is written in C++ and makes use of GTK+ for
the user interface. LinuxDC++ is free and open source software licensed
under the GPL.
Direct Connect is a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol. The most popular
Windows client implementing this protocol currently is DC++. Direct Connect
clients connect to a central hub where they can view a list of clients or
users connected to them. Users can search for files and download them from
other clients, as well as chat with other users.
