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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reliable group communication based on IP multicast and configurable protocol stack

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

This project allow to test network availability on multiple nodes. It is built as a plugin architecture in order to use it on multiples networks. Test is based on three steps : module status, local visibility of network, and interconnection between nodes

Alternative implementation of Spring framework remoting subsystem that supports different schemes of remote communication between client and server (1-1, 1-many, dynamic services discovering).

The BCR flavor of Cooperative Data Sharing (CDS) is a scalable, portable, flexible C-based API and daemon for initiating and communicating between processes/threads in uniprocessor and multiprocessor (e.g. distributed, SMP, and parallel) platforms.

Core Balance is a simple TCP Load Balancing proxy designed to balance connections based on node speed and number of cores. The design was intended to balance a distcc cluster. It features a status report in HTTP and an interactive mode.

EasyLVS is intended to make setting up/running a Linux Virtual Server (LVS) and cluster a snap. Web based administration make for easy setups. You can run the advanced server monitoring as a standalone server as well. Written in 100% java.

Eddie acts as a high availability WAN and LAN clustering tool for web servers (including Apache). It provides load balancing at two levels (DNS and LAN), failover redundancy, and admission control to maintain quality of service levels.
