OpenConnect​

OpenConnect is an open-source software application for connecting to virtual private networks(VPN), which implement secure point-to-point connections

OpenSSH​

OpenSSH(also known as OpenBSD Secure Shell) is a suite of securenetworking utilities based on the Secure Shell(SSH) protocol, which provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client--server architecture

OpenSSH started as a fork of the free SSH program developed by Tatu Ylönen; later versions of Ylönen's SSH were proprietary software offered by SSH Communications Security.OpenSSH was first released in 1999, and is currently developed as part of the OpenBSDoperating system.

OpenSSH is not a single computer program, but rather a suite of programs that serve as alternatives to unencrypted protocols like Telnet and FTP. OpenSSH is integrated into several operating systems, while the portable version is available as a package in other systems.

GStreamer​

GStreamer is a pipeline-based multimedia framework that links together a wide variety of media processing systems to complete complex workflows. For instance, GStreamer can be used to build a system that reads files in one format, processes them, and exports them in another. The formats and processes can be changed in a plug and play fashion

GStreamer supports a wide variety of media-handling components, including simple audio playback, audio and video playback, recording, streaming and editing. The pipeline design serves as a base to create many types of multimedia applications such as video editors, transcoders, streaming media broadcasters and media players.

Zeroconf​

Zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) is a set of technologies that automatically creates a usable computer network based on the Internet Protocol Suite(TCP/IP) when computers or network peripherals are interconnected. It does not require manual operator intervention or special configuration servers. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up network services, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP) and Domain Name System(DNS), or configure each computer's network settings manually

Zeroconf is built on three core technologies: automatic assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices, automatic distribution and resolution of computer hostnames, and automatic location of network services, such as printing devices.

pmacct​

pmacct is a small set of multi-purpose passive network monitoring tools [NetFlow IPFIX sFlow libpcap BGP BMP RPKI IGP Streaming Telemetry]

pmacct is a set of network monitoring tools that can collect network traffic via libpcap and export it to a variety of places. Can be used to do network flow analysis.

pmacct is a small set of multi-purpose passive network monitoring tools. It can account, classify, aggregate, replicate and export forwarding-plane data, ie. IPv4 and IPv6 traffic; collect and correlate control-plane data via BGP and BMP; collect and correlate RPKI data; collect infrastructure data via Streaming Telemetry. Each component works both as a standalone daemon and as a thread of execution for correlation purposes (ie. enrich NetFlow with BGP data). pmacct main features are:

  • Suitable to ISP, IXP, CDN, IP carrier, Cloud, DC and hot-spots enviroments and SDN solutions
  • Runs on Linux, BSDs, Solaris and embedded systems
  • Support for both IPv4 and IPv6
  • Collects data through libpcap, Netlink/NFLOG, NetFlow v1/v5/v7/v8/v9, sFlow v2/v4/v5 and IPFIX
  • Collects Streaming Telemetry data. Read more here.
  • Supports Cisco NEL for CGNAT scenarios and Cisco NSEL
  • Saves data to a number of backends including:
    • Relational databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite
    • noSQL databases: MongoDB and BerkeleyDB
    • AMQP message exchanges: RabbitMQ
    • Kafka message brokers
    • memory tables
    • flat files
  • Exports data to remote collectors through IPFIX, NetFlow v5/v9 and sFlow v5
  • Replicates incoming IPFIX, NetFlow and sFlow packets to remote collectors
  • Flexible architecture to tag, filter, redirect, aggregate and split captured data
  • Comes with:
    • a BGP daemon/thread for efficient visibility into the inter-domain routing plane. Read more here.
    • Supports BGP/MPLS VPNs rfc4364, Label Unicast rfc3107
    • Supports BGP ADD-PATHs (draft-ietf-idr-add-paths) for visibility of BGP multi-path routes
    • Can log live BGP messaging and/or dump BGP tables per peer at regular time interval
    • a BMP daemon/thread to gain insight in BGP data, events and statistics
      • Supports draft-ietf-grow-bmp-loc-rib and draft-ietf-grow-bmp-adj-rib-out
    • an IS-IS/IGP thread for visibility of internal routes
    • a RPKI thread to associate Route Origin Validation (ROV) state to BGP data (from1.7.3)
  • Packet classification via nDPI
  • Inspection of tunnelled traffic (ie. GTP)
  • GeoIP lookups leveraging Maxmind library
  • Pluggable architecture for easy integration of new capturing environments and data backends
  • Careful SQL support: data pre-processing, triggers, dynamic table naming
  • It's free, open-source, developed and supported with passion and open mind for more than 10 years

Ribbon​

Ribbon is a Inter Process Communication (remote procedure calls) library with built in software load balancers. The primary usage model involves REST calls with various serialization scheme support. Ribbon is a client side IPC library that is battle-tested in cloud. It provides the following features

  • Load balancing
  • Fault tolerance
  • Multiple protocol (HTTP, TCP, UDP) support in an asynchronous and reactive model
  • Caching and batching

RSS​

RSS (RDF Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a web feed that allows users and applications to access updates to websites in a standardized, computer-readable format. Subscribing to RSS feeds can allow a user to keep track of many different websites in a single news aggregator, which constantly monitor sites for new content, removing the need for the user to manually check them. News aggregators (or "RSS readers") can be built into a browser, installed on a desktop computer, or installed on a mobile device.
