CLUSTER NETWORK-TRAFFIC-REAL · 32 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-11-05
Network traffic monitoring tools
This cluster comprises desktop, web, and protocol-specific tools for capturing, inspecting, and visualizing network traffic, including packet sniffers, protocol analyzers, and bandwidth monitors. Dated entries appear sporadically from 2009 through 2026-07, with most months having one or two entries, and no clear periodic concentration beyond that. Netra leads traction with 84 stars, while routeros-lanpulse (29) and kuai-ping (6) trail behind.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
