This package provides header-only C++ bindings for ØMQ. The header files contain direct mappings of the abstractions provided by the ØMQ C API.

This package provides a control tool for the B.A.T.M.A.N. mesh networking routing protocol provided by the Linux kernel module batman-adv, for Layer 2.

Net::Bonjour is a set of modules that allow one to discover local services via multicast DNS (mDNS) or enterprise services via traditional DNS. This method of service discovery has been branded as Bonjour by Apple Computer.

IO::Socket::INET6 is an interface for AF_INET/AF_INET6 domain sockets in Perl.

Libnet provides a fairly portable framework for network packet construction and injection. It features portable packet creation interfaces at the IP layer and link layer, as well as a host of supplementary functionality. Using libnet, quick and simple packet assembly applications can be whipped up with little effort.

ethtool can be used to query and change settings such as speed, auto-negotiation and checksum offload on many network devices, especially Ethernet devices.

knockd is a port-knock daemon. It listens to all traffic on an ethernet or PPP interface, looking for special "knock" sequences of port-hits (UDP/TCP packets sent to a server port). This port need not be open, since knockd listens at the link-layer level.

With this package you can monitor and filter incoming requests for network services. It includes a library which may be used by daemons to transparently check connection attempts against an access control list.

Reaver performs a brute force attack against an access point's Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) PIN. Once the PIN is found, the WPA passphrase can be recovered and the AP's wireless settings can be reconfigured.

Socket6 binds the IPv6 related part of the C socket header definitions and structure manipulators for Perl.

Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net.

GNU MAC Changer is a utility for viewing and changing MAC addresses of networking devices. New addresses may be set explicitly or randomly. They can include MAC addresses of the same or other hardware vendors or, more generally, MAC addresses of the same category of hardware.

Quagga is a routing software suite, providing implementations of OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIP v1 and v2, RIPng and BGP-4 for Unix platforms.

The Quagga architecture consists of a core daemon, zebra, which acts as an abstraction layer to the underlying Unix kernel and presents the Zserv API over a Unix or TCP stream to Quagga clients. It is these Zserv clients which typically implement a routing protocol and communicate routing updates to the zebra daemon.

RTMPdump is a toolkit for RTMP streams. All forms of RTMP are supported, including rtmp://, rtmpt://, rtmpe://, rtmpte://, and rtmps://.

This module provides several IP address validation subroutines that both validate and untaint their input. This includes both basic validation (is_ipv4() and is_ipv6()) and special cases like checking whether an address belongs to a specific network or whether an address is public or private (reserved).

Dante is a SOCKS client and server implementation. It can be installed on a machine with access to an external TCP/IP network and will allow all other machines, without direct access to that network, to be relayed through the machine the Dante server is running on. The external network will never see any machines other than the one Dante is running on.

lcagent can send and receive data over multicast and to pipe data between programs on one computer and as many receivers as the multicast network can support simultaneously.

mtr combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in a single network diagnostic tool. mtr can use several network protocols to detect intermediate routers (or hops) between the local host and a user-specified destination. It then continually measures the response time and packet loss at each hop, and displays the results in real time.

Tool to send a magic packet to wake another host on the network. This must be enabled on the target host, usually in the BIOS.

This package contains a variety of tools for dealing with network configuration, troubleshooting, or servers. Utilities included are:

arping

Ping hosts using ARP.

clockdiff

Compute time difference between network hosts using ICMP TSTAMP messages.

ninfod

Daemon that responds to IPv6 Node Information Queries.

ping

Use ICMP ECHO messages to measure round-trip delays and packet loss across network paths.

rarpd

Answer RARP requests from clients.

rdisc

Populate network routing tables with information from the ICMP router discovery protocol.

tftpd

Trivial file transfer protocol server.

tracepath

Trace network path to an IPv4 or IPv6 address and discover MTU along the way.

Netdiscover is a network address discovery tool developed mainly for wireless networks without a DHCP server. It also works on hub/switched networks. It is based on ARP packets, it will send ARP requests and sniff for replies.

iPerf is a tool to measure achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters related to timing, buffers and protocols (TCP, UDP, SCTP with IPv4 and IPv6). For each test it reports the bandwidth, loss, and other parameters.

C library implementation of RaptorQ Forward Error Correction for Librecast. RFC6330 (IETF) describes the RaptorQ proposed standard, which LCRQ more-or-less follows. The primary focus has been on building a fast, simple and dependency-free FEC implementation for use with Librecast, and not on strict standards compliance. The code does, however, fairly closely follow the RFC.

pysctp implements the SCTP socket API. You need a SCTP-aware kernel (most are).
