MPICH is an implementation of the Message-Passing Interface (MPI) standard.
The goal of MPICH is to provide an MPI implementation that supports
different computation and communication platforms including commodity
clusters, high-speed networks and proprietary high-end computing systems.
It also enables cutting-edge research in MPI through an easy-to-extend
modular framework for other derived implementations.
Netembryo is a network abstraction library plus some misc
utility functions used as foundation for feng, libnemesi, felix.
MPICH2 is an implementation of the Message-Passing Interface (MPI).
The goals of MPICH2 are to provide an MPI implementation for important
platforms, including clusters, SMPs, and massively parallel processors.
It also provides a vehicle for MPI implementation research and for developing
new and better parallel programming environments
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.
mrouted is an implementation of the DVMRP multicast routing protocol.
It turns a UNIX workstation into a DVMRP multicast router with tunnel
support, in order to cross non-multicast-aware routers.
netselect is an ultrafast intelligent parallelizing binary-search
implementation of "ping."
netselect determines several facts about all of the hosts given on the command
line, much faster than you would if you tried to use ping and traceroute.
For example, if I type:
netselect -v ftp.fceia.unr.edu.ar \
ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be \
ftp.cdrom.com ftp.debian.org \
ftp.de.debian.org
It tells me statistics about each of the hostnames I provided,
in much less time than doing a whole bunch of traceroutes.
Msend is an implementation of the RFC1312 message protocol. It can be
used as a network aware replacement for write and wall. This package
contains the client "msend" and the server "mesgd".
The nettest and nettestd commands invoke client and server
programs that are used for timing data throughput of vari-
ous methods of interprocess communication. For TCP and
OSI connections, the nettest program establishes a connec-
tion with the nettestd program, and then it does count
writes of size bytes, followed by count reads of size
bytes. For UDP, the nettest program performs only writes;
reads are not performed. The nettestd program, if used
with UDP connections, reads the data packets and prints a
message for each data packet it receives. The number and
size of the reads and writes may not correlate with the
number and size of the actual data packets that are trans-
ferred; it depends on the protocol that is chosen. If you
append an optional k (or K) to the size, count, or bufsize
value, the number specified is multiplied by 1024.
Nast is a packet sniffer and a LAN analyzer based on Libnet and Libpcap.
As analyzer tool, it has many features like:
* Build LAN hosts list
* Follow a TCP-DATA stream
* Find LAN internet gateways
* Discorver promiscous nodes
* Reset an established connection
* Perform a single half-open portscanner
* Perform a multi half-open portscanner
* Find link type (hub or switch)
* Catch daemon banner of LAN nodes
* Control arp answers to discover possible arp-spoofings
* Byte couting with an optional filter
* Write reports logging
It also provides a ncurses menu.
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.
