Open Source Linux 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

SocketTest - powerful and small software tool for socket testing. It can create both TCP and UDP client or server. It can be used to test any server or client that uses TCP or UDP protocol to communicate.

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.

YaCy is a free search engine that anyone can use to build search the internet (www and ftp) or to create a search portal for others (internet or intranet). The scale of YaCy is limited only by the number of users and can index billions of web pages. In p2p mode it is fully decentralized, all users of the search engine network are equal and it is not possible for anyone to censor the content of the distributed index.

JPPF makes it easy to parallelize computationally intensive tasks and execute them on a Grid.

The TclSOAP package provides a mechanism to bind Tcl command procedures to remote procedure calls using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and XML-RPC over HTTP. Both client and server code is provided.

The purpose of the project is to develop a portable programming framework that facilitates distributed and multi-threaded programming for C++, Java, and Python. MADARA was originally developed as an agent-based middleware specifically for real-time, distributed artificial intelligence, but is now more general purpose for distributed timing, control, knowledge and reasoning, and quality-of-service. MADARA is composed of several tools and middleware, and the main entry point into the system is the Knowledge and Reasoning Language (KaRL) Engine, which provides a real-time scripting language for nanosecond execution times hooked into a flexible transport layer for distributed reasoning. The KaRL engine also supports object-oriented C++, Java, and Python programming through Containers, classes that provide abstractions and references for variable location within the KaRL Knowledge Base. This project is currently in process of being ported from http://madara.googlecode.com.

Glass is a library for distributed computing. It's written in C++ and widely portable.

SQLREST enables access to a relational database as RESTful Web Service. Entities can be queried, created and modified using the HTTP methods GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.

Sqlcached is a memory cache daemon, inspired by memcached, but offering more granular control by using SQL interface instead of key-value pairs.

Borg = Mobile Multi agent system with support for strong migration, serialisation and location transparaent routing. Interpreter= prototype based. Compiles for macintosh, windows, linux, freebsd, solaris and palm.

Reliable group communication based on IP multicast and configurable protocol stack

Open, fast, robust grid for distributing computing, processes etc. A great alternative to overpriced commercial products such as DataSynapse. Not constrained by standards: contribute to invent new grid computing.

mpiGraph is designed to inspect the health and scalability of a high-performance interconnect while under heavy load. This is useful to detect hardware and software problems in a system, such as slow nodes, links, switches, or routing contention.

Self-organizing availability-monitoring p2p overlay for large-scale distributed applications. It addresses selfish and colluding nodes. Monitoring relationships are consistent, random, and verifiable. Discovery of monitors is fast and load-balanced.

Active Networking provides a framework in which executable code within data packets can execute upon intermediate network nodes. The goal of this research is to develop active networks that are capable of predicting their own behavior and to use this ca

Anond is a ongoing experiment striving to provide transparent IP-level anonymization using virtual network interfaces, peer-to-peer and overlay network techniques. Anond is an implementation of an anonymous routing protocol with ideas taken from the paper "Anonymous overlay network supporting authenticated routing" by Roman Schlegel and Duncan S. Wong.

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".

An implementation of the Open Group's Application Response Measurement (ARM) Version 4 standard. The ARM standard describes a means of breaking an application down into it's constituent transactions, and measuring response time across multiple tiers.

Note: There is a successor of AsyncWcfLib: https://github.com/steforster/Remact.Net AsyncWcfLib is a software library for distributed computing based on Microsoft WCF. AsyncWcfLib is a lightweight message bus bridging Windows and Linux by using the .NET Framework or Mono. It supports callback based asynchrony as well as the new async-await pattern available in .NET 4.5. AsyncWcfLib supports threadsafety through an actor based programming model. Actors are loosly coupled system units interacting by passing messages. Message objects are passed inside a process between actors running on different threads. Also, messages may be passed between actors running on different processes, hosts and operating systems. The library is designed for configuration free, asynchronous messaging. A router application is included. It discovers actors by their name on any linked host, even when host name resolution is not possible because of routing- or operating system limitations.

Semi-Automated Debugger for TinyOS Network Applications

Bionanny is a tool for Web Services providers. It allows to monitor other Web Services. It can intercept requests incoming from clients, pass it to the destination Web Service and log number of requests and elapsed time spend by services.

BitDHT is a LGPL'd general purpose C++ Distributed Hash Table library. It is designed to take hassle out over creating your own DHT. BitDHT is compatible with bitttorrent's DHT and can leverage this network to bootstrap your own personal DHT.

BlindEyes is an open-source distributed framework designed to allow the distribution and chaining together of code in many popular languages.
