WANem WANem is a Wide Area Network Emulator, meant to provide a real experience of a Wide Area Network/Internet, during application development / testing over a LAN environment. Typically application developers develop applications on a LAN while the intended purpose for the same could be, clients accessing the same over the WAN or even the Internet. WANem thus allows the application development team to setup a transparent application gateway which can be used to simulate WAN characteristics like Network delay, Packet loss, Packet corruption, Disconnections, Packet re-ordering, Jitter, etc. WANem can be used to simulate Wide Area Network conditions for Data/Voice traffic and is released under the widely acceptable GPL v2 license. WANem thus provides emulation of Wide Area Network characteristics and thus allows data/voice applications to be tested in a realistic WAN environment before they are moved into production at an affordable cost. WANem is built on top of other FLOSS[Free Libre and OpenSource] components and like other intelligent FLOSS projects has chosen not to re-invent the wheel as much as possible. From a functionality perspective WANem hooks into the Linux kernel towards provisioning the network emulation characteristics and extends the functionality with additional modules. Based on a re-mastered Knoppix cd WANem allows quick and easy setup in any development environment with an intuitive web interface for purposes of configuration. Tag:

IPCop Dual-ISDN Mod
This mod is for ISDN based IPCops. With it, it is possible to connect or disconnect the second ISDN channel on the fly (Multilink PPP). Adding and removing the second channel is done via IPCop's dial screen and does not require an existing connection to be disconnected. Usage notes IPCop's ISDN dialup settings 'single' and 'dual' will be changed to the following behavior: * Configured as 'single', will only connect the first channel by default. The second channel can be added by selecting "Add ISDN-Channel" from the dial screen (or removed). If the connection is disconnected, it will always default to single channel, even if both channels were previously active. * Configured as 'dual', will always connect both channels by default. The second channel can be removed by selecting "Remove ISDN-Channel" from the dial screen (or added). If the connection is disconnected, it will always default to dual channel, even if only one channel was previously active. (This is only valid if iBOD is not enabled, see notes below.) * In both 'single' and 'dual' mode, the second channel can always be added or removed without affecting the first channel. * Selecting "Add ISDN-Channel" or "Remove ISDN-Channel" from the dial screen, only takes effect if at least one channel is connected. To use the manual add/remove channel features of this mod, you must disable IPCop's iBOD feature (Bandwidth on Demand for dual ISDN). iBOD will interfere with your manual channel selections if it is enabled.

EventCentral EventCentral is the process of collecting Windows Event Logs from remote computers, and a web interface to view them. It is not a real-time process: logs are only collected once a day. EventCentral is a renegade! After so many years of marriage with Apache / MySQL, and to ease its installation process, it moves to IIS / SQLite. Previous versions' data will be lost, so its a major release: 5.0. Teaming with IIS does not mean Apache won't work (just rename default.htm to index.html and check) ; only it's not supported anymore. SQLite is bundled into Active State's Perl, so there is no need to install an extra database engine. Moreover, issues have recently arisen regarding MySQL's future. If you want to stick to Apache / MySQL with version 4.6, you'll just miss a new search GUI and Active Directory request ability to build computers list. Tag:

EventCentral is the process of collecting Windows Event Logs from remote computers, and a web interface to view them. It is not a real-time process: logs are only collected once a day. EventCentral is a renegade! After so many years of marriage with Apache / MySQL, and to ease its installation process, it moves to IIS / SQLite. Previous versions' data will be lost, so its a major release: 5.0. Teaming with IIS does not mean Apache won't work (just rename default.htm to index.html and check) ; only it's not supported anymore. SQLite is bundled into Active State's Perl, so there is no need to install an extra database engine. Moreover, issues have recently arisen regarding MySQL's future. If you want to stick to Apache / MySQL with version 4.6, you'll just miss a new search GUI and Active Directory request ability to build computers list. Tag:
