The MOP Loader Daemon is for use netbooting older DEC machines such as VAXen
and DECstations. Some versions of SRM on DEC Alphas might support it too.
MOP is functionally comparable to TFTP.
Included in this package are the `mopd' daemon itself, plus the debugging
utilities `mopchk', `mopprobe', and `moptrace'.
MoreBalance is a modular open source user-space load balancing system.
It also serves as a general fun networking tool.
Netembryo is a network abstraction library plus some misc
utility functions used as foundation for feng, libnemesi, felix.
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.
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.
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.
Nepim stands for network pipemeter, a tool for measuring available bandwidth
between hosts. nepim is also useful to generate network traffic for testing
purposes. Nepim operates in client/server mode, is able to handle multiple
parallel traffic streams, reports periodic partial statistics along the
testing, and supports IPv6.
net6 is a library which eases the development of network-based applications
as it provides a TCP protocol abstraction for C++. It is portable to both
the Windows and Unix-like platforms.
Netcat is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across
network connections using TCP or UDP protocol. It is designed to be a
reliable "back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by
other programs and scripts. At the same time it is a feature-rich
network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any
kind of connection you would need and has several interesting built-in
capabilities.
