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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This project is meant to provide ISDN CAPI 2.0 services (like fax)over a TCP/IP based network. A server (Win32/Linux) can share his ISDN cards with Clients (Win32/Linux) in the LAN.

Free Agents DIDS is a distributed intrusion detection system that you place on each host on your network. Agents intercommunicate with aes encryption, automatically alert you, and secure your network for free!

IIOP.NET allows a seamless interoperation between .NET, CORBA and J2EE distributed objects. This is done by incorporating CORBA/IIOP support into .NET, leveraging the remoting framework.

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".

The UnifiedSessionsManager supports the integrated management of user sessions within Private-Clouds, comprising heterogeneous IT landscapes of various physical and virtual machines, hypervisor management, and virtual user sessions with remote desktops. Extracted documents see https://sourceforge.net/projects/ctys-doc.

Provides a remotely (or locally) scriptable JVM along with a perl & C client

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

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.

QuickServer is an open source Java library/framework for quick creation of robust and multi-threaded, multi-client TCP server applications. With QuickServer one can just concentrate on just the application logic/protocol on hand.

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.

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

DropboxMQ is an implementation of the Java Message Service API that uses a shared file system to store and distribute messages. A dropbox is a set of shared directories that relies on atomicity of file move operations to settle contention for messages.

Infranet is a system that attempts to circumvent web censorship by allowing clients to surreptitiously request sensitive content via cooperating Web servers distributed across the global Internet.

isectd is a middleware daemon that provides many-to-many client-to-server connectivity. Supports multiplexing requests to multiple server processes over IP networks.

UberMQ is a clean-room implementation of the JMS 1.1 API (topics and queues), based on Java NIO for speed and scalability. It supports TCP, SSL and LRMP multicast connectivity, and is highly pluggable so you can customize various aspects to your needs.

WatchTower is a cloud server monitoring and management tool. This is actually a suite of tools that includes a dashboard and associated RESTful web services required for managing the servers and services. The dashboard uses PHP/MySQL (requires php5+), html, and css. It's all open source and very easy to work with and make changes. The client I'm using is included and is written in python. Currently tested with Python 2.4 and 2.6, but should work with any version. I'm not using anything special. My plans also include monitoring/managing of Windows servers through the same python client, but compiled into a working exe, but I will work on that when the Linux client is finished first.

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.

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.
