NetSwarm is now released!

[Dom]

NetSwarm, a network monitoring screen saver and desktop application from UberGames, is now officially available for download through the projects website: http://www.ubergames.org/projects/netswarm/

NetSwarm monitors all network activity which your computer receives and then compiles a logical swarm of the network nodes (machines/devices). This process visually demonstrates how your network communicates within itself and the outside world. NetSwarm can be ran as a monitoring utility (Stand Alone EXE) or as a screen saver.

NetSwarm uses colour coded nodes (circles) to inform you of the type of traffic you have communicating on your network. A green node indicates an internal IP address (including VPN addresses), where as a light blue node indicates a remote address. Yellow nodes represent either a broadcast or multicast address. NetSwarm can be configured through the settings window to ignore external IP addresses.

NetSwarm also changes the colour of the links (lines) between nodes depending on what transport protocol is being utilized between the two nodes. Red links indicate TCP traffic. Green links indicate ICMP traffic and blue links represent UDP traffic. If a mixture of protocols are being utilized NetSwarm will morph the colour of the link to represent the ratio of use for each protocol.
