GNU MAC Changer is an utility that makes the maniputation of MAC addresses of
network interfaces easier.
Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic
discovery of devices and services on a local network using industry standard IP
protocols. Bonjour makes it easy to discover, publish, and resolve network
services with a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, programming interface that is
accessible from Cocoa, Ruby, Python, and other languages.
The mDNSResponder project is a component of Bonjour, Apple's ease-of-use IP
networking initiative.
The Multi-Generator (MGEN) is open source software by the Naval Research
Laboratory (NRL) PROTocol Engineering Advanced Networking (PROTEAN)
Research Group. MGEN provides the ability to perform IP network
performance tests and measurements using UDP/IP traffic (TCP is currently
being developed).
The toolset generates real-time traffic patterns so that the network can
be loaded in a variety of ways. The generated traffic can also be
received and logged for analyses. Script files are used to drive the
generated loading patterns over the course of time. These script files can
be used to emulate the traffic patterns of unicast and/or multicast UDP/IP
applications. The receive portion of this tool set can be scripted to
dynamically join and leave IP multicast groups. MGEN log data can be used
to calculate performance statistics on throughput, packet loss rates,
communication delay, and more.
The class allows you to:
* check if an addresse is an IPv6 addresse
* compress/uncompress IPv6 addresses
* check for an IPv4 compatible ending in an IPv6 adresse
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.
nload is a console application which monitors network traffic and bandwidth
usage in real time. It visualizes the in- and outgoing traffic using two graphs
and provides additionally info like total amount of transfered data and min/max
network usage.
This module provides methods for implementing a DHCP client. It allows
perl scripts to interacts with DHCP servers.
It's good for DHCP servers testing.
This extension is CVS pserver client extension.
Current version has read-only, diff, and log support.
Later versions to include add/commit/remove.
