• Terminal multiplexer: (to run multiple terminal session in one screen)
  • screen: How To Use Linux Screen
  • tmux: Getting started with Tmux
  • compare: linuxhint, superuser
• NIST Net: is no longer actively maintained. Much of its functionality has been incorporated into NetEm and the iproute2 toolkit. These are almost certainly already included in your Linux distribution
• DBS: is no longer available. (v1.1.5, v1.2.0beta1, and manual)
  • Pbench: a benchmarking and performance analysis framework
• ipbench
• iputils
