DESCRIPTION ^
The Jabber::Connection package provides basic functions for connecting clients and components to a Jabber server.

My Network Catalog is an indexing engine that allows Windows shares (or Samba shares) to be bound together over a local network.

My Network Catalog allows an easy centralized search of all the files available over the network.

Net::FreeDB2::Connection is a FreeDB/CDDB abstract connection class.

Net::FreeDB2::Connection is an abstract class to represent connections to FreeDB/CDDB servers. After a successfull connection, FreeDB/CDDB queries, reads etc can be made to obtain/provide information from/to FreeDB/CDDB databases.

CONSTRUCTOR

new (OPT_HASH_REF)

Creates a new Net::FreeDB2::Connection object. By default connect () is called to initiate the connection but see option no_connect. See the implementation for complements/restrictions.

Options for OPT_HASH_REF may include:

client_name

Mandatory option to name the connecting client software.

client_version

Mandatory option with the client software version string.

client_host

The hostname of the client. Defaults to &Sys::Hostname::hostname ().

client_user

The user of the client. Defaults to scalar (getpwuid ($>));

freedb_host

The FreeDB/CDDB host. Defaults to freedb.freedb.org.

freedb_port

The port on the FreeDB/CDDB host.

proxy_host

Proxy host.

proxy_port

Port on the proxy host. Defaults to 8080.

proxy_user

Proxy user name to use.

proxy_passwd

Proxy password to use.

no_connect

Do not call connect () during instanciation.

Net::Connection::Sniffer::Util are netaddr utilities.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Connection::Sniffer::Util;
my $ip = newcidr24 Net::Connection::Sniffer::Util($netaddr);
my $ipcopy = $ip->copy;
if ($someip->within($ip)) {
do something...
if ($ip->contains($someip)) {
do something...
if ($ip1->equal($ip2)) {
do something
__top

Net::Connection::Sniffer::Util is a lite weight perl module to do NetAddr::IP like operations on ip addresses in either 32 or 128 bit formats.
my $ip = newcidr24;

Create a blessed address object with cidr/24 network/broadcast bounds (assumes 32 bit addressing), for ipv6, this will be cidr/120
my $ipcopy = $ip->copy;

Copy a blessed network address object to a new blessed object;
Returns undef if $ip is not a Net::Connection::Sniffer::Util object.
$rv = $someip->within($ip);

Check to see if $someip is within the cidr of $ip. i.e.

network address equal($ip2);

Check if IP1 equal IP2
input: ip2 object
returns: true/false

NetworkManager program is a network connection manager for most RPM and Debian-based distros.

Supports Ethernet, WiFi, VPN connections.

Networking on Linux should not suck like it does right now for the desktop user. The desktop user should never need to use the command-line to configure their network; it should "Just Work" as automatically as possible and intrude as little as possible into the users workflow.

The computer should use the wired network connection when its plugged in, but automatically switch to a wireless connection when the user unplugs it and walks away from the desk.

Likewise, when the user plugs the computer back in, the computer should switch back to the wired connection. The user should, most times, not even notice that their connection has has been managed for them; they should simply see uninterrupted network connectivity.

Flexible, Extendable, and Open

The most important pieces of NetworkManager are desktop-environment and distribution agnostic, functioning just as well in Gnome, KDE, Xfce, etc. across distributions like Fedora Core, Debian, Gentoo, and Slackware.

And since the NetworkManager components communicate with each other using dbus, its easy to rip out and replace any of the User Interface pieces at any time.

Application Integration

Using the awesome power and flexibility of dbus and hal, NetworkManager provides facilities for other desktop applications like browsers and email clients to be aware of the networks state and adjust their operation accordingly for features like offline operation.

Pinger Network Tools is a simple frontend for ping, netstat, traceroute and whois.
