NetpackX consolidates many network tools into a single application with a common user interface and provides statistics, logs, visual maps, graphs, bandwidth measurement tools, traffic simulation, Sniffer, packet generators and more.

NetpackX provides many tools to assist network operations and control from the OSI Data Link Layer all the way up to the OSI Application layer.

NetpackX also provides an application programmable interface developed in C as an extension to the Tcl/Tk developed library. The API can be used to extend your network applications,  tools and scripts and help achieve rapid development for system monitoring, security tests, administration and any other network or socket applicability.
