OpenNMS is the world's first enterprise grade network management platform developed under the open source model. It consists of a community supported open-source project as well as a commercial services, training and support organization.

JPF (Java Plugin Framework) is a general-purpose plug-in framework intended to help building scalable, extendable Java applications with low cost of maintenance. The framework is specially designed to be easily included into Java project of any kind. ... [More] JPF provides a runtime engine that dynamically discovers and loads "plug-ins". A plug-in is a structured component that describes itself to JPF using a "manifest". JPF maintains a registry of available plug-ins and the functions they provide (via extension points and extensions). [Less]

Netdisco is a network management application targeted at large corporate and university networks. Data is collected into a Postgres database using SNMP and presented with a clean web interface using Mason. Designed for moderate to large networks ... [More] , configuration information and connection data for network devices are retrieved by SNMP. With Netdisco you can locate the switch port of an end-user system by IP or MAC address. Data is stored using a SQL database for scalability and speed. Layer-2 topology protocols such as CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) optionally provides automatic discovery of the network topology. The network is inventoried by both device model and operating system (like IOS). Netdisco uses router ARP tables and L2 switch MAC forwarding tables to locate nodes on physical ports and track them by their IP addresses. For each node, a time stamped history of the ports it has visited and the IP addresses it has used is maintained. Netdisco gets all its data, including topology information, with SNMP polls and DNS queries. It does not use CLI access and has no need for privilege passwords. Security features include a wire-side Wireless Access Point (AP) locator. The project is supported by a community of open-source developers, headed by Eric Miller, Bill Fenner, and Max Baker. [Less]

Wiremaps is an application to gather wiring (aka L2) information on a network using protocols like LLDP, EDP, CDP and SONMP. It also gathers information from the FDB (MAC-port table on switches), the ARP table (MAC-IP table), VLANs and some miscellaneous information like interface names.

LLDP is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant proprietary link-Layer protocols such as Extreme's EDP (Extreme Discovery Protocol) and CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol). The goal of LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to ... [More] deliver Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network devices. This implementation provides LLDP sending and reception, supports VLAN and includes an SNMP subagent that can interface to an SNMP agent through AgentX protocol. This daemon is also able to deal with CDP, SONMP and EDP protocol. [Less]

Fac-Back-OPAC is a faceted online public access catalogue that libraries can use as an alternate interface or backup catalogue.

OSS Discovery is an open source tool that finds installed open source software. It can be used to inventory open source software across an enterprise or on a single computer. Using OSS Discovery, individuals and companies can easily contribute data about how much open source software is being used to The Open Source Census.
