libfolks is a library that aggregates people from multiple sources
(eg, Telepathy connection managers and eventually evolution data server,
Facebook, etc.) to create metacontacts. It's written in Vala (in part to
evaluate Vala). The initial goal is for GObject/C support, though the Vala
bindings should basically automatic.
Protocol::XMPP provides an API for the Extensible Message Passing Protocol.
This is commonly used for integration with Jabber servers and Google Talk,
although XMPP itself supports a number of extended features for a distributed
multi-server, multi-client message exchange system.
FSPLIB is a set of routines that implement the FSP protocol. They allow
applications to work with files on FSP server with the same style
used to work with local files via libc.
Note: GFTP prefers this package over its built in FSP stack.
KNC is Kerberised NetCat. It works in basically the same way as either netcat
or stunnel except that it is uses GSS-API to secure the communication. You can
use it to construct client/server applications while keeping the Kerberos
libraries out of your programs address space quickly and easily.

This module looks up the country of an IP or hostname, using the free
GeoIP Legacy file-based database. This database should be more complete
and accurate than reverse DNS lookups.
This module can be used to automatically select the geographically closest
mirror, or to analyze your web server logs to determine the countries of
your visiters.
The PEAR::Net_Ident implements Identification Protocol according
to RFC 1413.
The Identification Protocol (a.k.a., "ident", a.k.a., "the Ident
Protocol") provides a means to determine the identity of a user
of a particular TCP connection. Given a TCP port number pair, it
returns a character string which identifies the owner of that
connection on the server's system.
A Yadis Service discovery library written in pure Ruby.
ruby-yadis contains full yadis service discovery functionality.
Point releases will be issued as the Yadis 1.0 specification
gets rounded out. Features include:
* Easy to use interface for fetching Yadis service information
* XRDS parser
* HTTPS and server certificate verification support
* Test suite
* BSD license
TCPreen is a simple tool to monitor and analyze data transmitted between
a client and a server via a TCP connection. This tool focuses on the data
stream (software/socket layer), not on the lower level transmission
protocol as packet sniffers do.

throttled is a bandwidth shaping application for FreeBSD which allows you
to cap your upstream bandwidth, prioritize ACK packets, and keep your
download speeds high even when your server is sending out at full speed.
It uses almost no cpu, and has a tiny footprint. Enjoy.
