Storage Resource Broker
The SDSC Storage Resource Broker (SRB) is client-server middleware that provides a uniform interface for connecting to heterogeneous data resources over a network and accessing replicated data sets. SRB, in conjunction with the Metadata Catalog (MCAT), provides a way to access data sets and resources based on their attributes and/or logical names rather than their names or physical locations.
STPsim is an application that simulates and visualizes switches using the Spanning Tree Protocol. It features a GUI to build and control a custom network topology.
surl is a URL shortening command line application that supports various sites. It supports stdin or filename input.
TCP Knocking provides a port knocking implementation that attempts to solve problems of opening firewalls to provide remote access by incorporating the knock into unused fields in the TCP handshake sequence packets, rather than using UDP packets with secret ports.
TCP/IP pipes provides a simple set of utilites with examples for making finger services, TCP connection testers, echo servers, redirection services, TCP wrappers, etc.
tcpdump2ascii is a small perl utility which parses the hex output from 'tcpdump -x' and displays this as ASCII.
tcpflow captures data transmitted as part of TCP connections (flows), and stores it in a way that is convenient for protocol analysis or debugging.
tcpify is a couple of wrapper programs that allow simple commands to communicate using TCP sockets. It works by replacing the standard input and output channels by a connected socket.
Tcpindex captures packets from a LAN and indexes all of the strings from those packets in an inverted index so they can be efficiently searched using keywords. Think of it like a simple search engine for packets across the network.
tcpmd5 signs packets with an MD5 hash as defined in RFC2385, which is in practice used for BGP session protection. It does not require any kernel or routing daemon (e.g. quagga) TCP-MD5 support.
tcpsound plays sounds in response to network traffic permitting a user to literally listen to a network. Specifically tcpsound forks a pseudo terminal in which to run tcpdump(8), parses that output, and plays a wide variety of user configuable sounds.
tgn is a traffic generator that sends out manufactured packets to a specific address, using rules or information that the user sets. tgn is in Debian, but not Arch/AUR. It has the same packet crafting and injection capabilities provided by the network expect framework
ThinTUX Terminal Server Project
ThinTUX Terminal Server Project is a solution that enables any business to deploy centralized applications to thin clients.
Traffic Control is a revision of the Linux network traffic control infrastructure that aims to make the configuration language less cryptic, and provide better interfaces for software and hardware accelerators.
TrueCL aims to provide advanced high availability clustering across larger clusters. It has currently been tested with up to 8 nodes.
tspipe solves the problem of demonizing processes that log to stdout. It takes every line of input, timestamps it, and saves it to a logfile that is easily rotated.
tunctl is a small tool for controlling Linux TUN/TAP devices. TUN/TAP devices are virtual network devices where software emulates the wire.
ucspi-tcp contains tcpserver and tcpclient, which are easy-to-use command-line tools for building TCP client-server applications.
Uniclient is an universal TCP client. It connects to a TCP server and executes an Aime program against the server.
uperf is a network performance tool that supports modelling and replay of various networking patterns. It represents the next generation benchmarking tools (like filebench) where instead of running a fixed benchmark or workload, a description (or model) of the workload is provided and the tool generates the load according to the model.
utcpdump is a slimmed-down version of LBL tcpdump 3.4 developed for Trinux but suitable for inclusion in other floppy or low-footprint Linux distributions.
Vblade is a software-based AoE target, a virtual EtherDrive Blade. It exports local block storage to hosts on an ethernet local area network. Hosts with an ATA over Ethernet (AoE) initiator, like the aoe driver for Linux, can then access the storage over the ethernet.
Venezia is a client for Charle P. Wright's c-mserver. It was developed using gtk under Linux.
vpntool is a cross-platform GUI applet for managing VPNC connections, connecting to Cisco virtual private networks.
WANsim allows you to simulate (more accurately, emulate) a WAN connection. In particular, it allows a user to change the emulated WAN speed, latency, variation, packet loss, packet duplication, and packet corruption aspects.
Webresolve is used in conjunction with a log analyzer to get hostnames rather than IP addresses in the statistics. It speeds up resolution by running several processes in parallel.
Wheretero determines the country where the local computer is. This allows automatic keyboard layout configuration for live-CDs.
wiki-stream is an automated explorer of the vast river that is Wikipedia.
Wikicurses is a simple curses interface for MediaWiki sites such as Wikipedia.

Xealous Nets is a set of programs that let you perform network calculations. They are useful and handy for the typical network administrator as they allow classful calculations and classless (CIDR) calculations, combining the functionality given by several online similar calculators in one single and portable package with a simple and effective command line interface.
