Open Source Networking Software

Tools for the Linux Kernel's network block device, allowing you to use remote block devices over a TCP/IP network. Note that we have moved to github: https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd

Collectl is a light-weight performance monitoring tool capable of reporting interactively as well as logging to disk. It reports statistics on cpu, disk, infiniband, lustre, memory, network, nfs, process, quadrics, slabs and more in easy to read format.

RELIANOID is an open core (Debian GNU/Linux based) Application Delivery Controller (ADC) with advanced load balancing features such as Network Load Balancer, Application Load Balancer with SSL offloading, Advance Network Configuration including Virtual Interfaces, VLANs, Bonding with link aggregation, IPv4/IPv6, advanced routing, stateless cluster, web GUI, JSON API and much more! Enterprise Edition Load Balancer is available with extra features such as global service load balancing (gslb), application security including web application firewall (WAF), blacklists, Realtime Blackhole Lists (DNSBL), DDoS protection, stateful clustering, SNMP monitoring, email and SNMP notifications, RBAC, VPN support, and the best Support directly from an expert Team.

Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. Supports clusters up to 2000 nodes in size.

Generic SCSI target subsystem for Linux SCST allows creation of sophisticated storage devices. It includes generic SCSI target core with SCSI target drivers and backend handlers. There are target drivers for iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SRP, SAS, FCoE, etc.

A distributed, peer-to-peer, server-less communication & messaging solution for JAVA (JMS), C++ and .NET applications, integrates with JBoss, WebLogic & WebSphere. Offers guaranteed delivery, security and transactions. Supports TCP, SSL & HTTP protocols.

The aoetools are programs for users of the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) network storage protocol, a simple protocol for using storage over an ethernet LAN. The vblade program (storage target) exports a block device using AoE.

The aim of the project is to develop an open source iSCSI target with professional features, works well in enterprise environment under real workload, and is scalable and versatile enough to meet the challenge of future storage needs and developements.

UNFS3 is a user-space implementation of the NFSv3 server specification. It provides a unified mountd and nfsd program and so far runs under Linux, NetBSD, and Solaris.

System Configurator is a utility for automatically configuring networking and bootstrapping in a Linux Distribution and Architecture agnostic way.

GGI stands for "General Graphics Interface", and it is a project that aims to develop a reliable, stable and fast graphics system that works everywhere. We want to allow any program using GGI to run on any platform requiring at most a recompile.

rshd is a multithreaded daemon service that listens for connections on port 514 (tcp port for the shell/cmd protocol), runs commands passed by clients and sends back the results.

Balance is a simple but powerful generic tcp proxy with round robin load balancing and failover mechanisms. Via shared memory its behaviour can be controlled at runtime using a simple command line syntax.

This is Pen, a load balancer for udp and tcp based protocols such as dns, http or smtp. It allows several servers to appear as one to the outside and automatically detects servers that are down and distributes clients among the available servers. This gives high availability and scalable performance.

Reliable group communication based on IP multicast and configurable protocol stack

MLN (Manage Large Networks) is a perl program used to manage a set of User-Mode-Linux instances or Xen instances. From a configuration file, it is possible to specify a large complex network of e.g. Xen instances, which are each configured as specified.

Generic clustering/load-balancing platform (over a LAN or internet) using java based P2P Aorta workers that execute java "tasklets". Various tasklets can be implemented to solve fractals, process images, render webpages, crack RSA "brute force".

A robust load-balancing queuing system for UNIX like systems.

The Linux InfiniBand Project is a collection of sub-projects focused around providing InfiniBand drivers for existing 2.4 based kernels. See Home Page for details.

vMotion Detector is an application suite designed for Oracle OEM, Oracle Grid or Nagios that allows a Windows or Linux Guest VM detect when it has its Session ID modified due to an underlying DRS or HA clustered environment change.

Ballast is a tool for balancing user load across SSH servers that supports user-specific policies as well as traditional policies based on metrics such as CPU load. It includes a simple client, a lightweight data server, and a data collection agent.

OpenBAM is a Business Activity Monitoring(BAM) application for Operations Managers in service organizations who are constantly trying to figure out what's effecting their business by trying to co-relate data from multiple systems.

See http://www.cubrid.org/cluster. CUBRID Cluster is an open source clustered DBMS for high scalability including global schema, distributed partition and load balancing features. It is a spin-off project from CUBRID project and supported by NHN.

Channel is a C++ framework for distributed message passing and event dispatching, configurable with its components (msg ids,routing algorithms...) as template parameters. As a namespace shared by peer threads, channel supports scope control and filtering

A LDAP based cluster control system that allows the deployment and administration of heterogeneous clusters. An extremely generic framework designed to be extended as required by administrators for each cluster.
