Elecard Boro is a professional software solution designed to monitor video stream health and track QoS/QoE parameters across distributed networks. By providing centralized access to statistics and automated reporting, Boro enables telecom professioals to build a powerful monitoring ecosystem from scratch or easily scale existing infrastructure to ensure flawless broadcast quality.
How it works:
Boro utilizes distributed software probes to monitor UDP, RTP, HTTP, HLS, DASH, SRT, and RTMP streams. By aggregating multi-point measurements on a centralized server, operators can instantly isolate quality degradation across the entire delivery chain. The platform provides network-wide visibility and real-time alerts for ETSI TR 101 290 errors via Email, SNMP, Webhook, PagerDuty, and Telegram.
Key Features:
• Rapid Deployment & Scalability: Launch a monitoring probe in just 30 minutes. Easily scale your infrastructure by adding new probes to the unified Boro ecosystem on any hardware.
• Proactive Issue Resolution: Monitor over 50 QoS and QoE parameters (including full ETSI TR 101 290 compliance) and use triggers to localize network anomalies before they impact viewers.
• Advanced Diagnostics: Use comprehensive analysis of SCTE-35 ad-insertion cues and PCAP stream recording for in-depth delivery troubleshooting.
• Effortless Integration & Access: Access monitoring data from any device via an intuitive web interface. Seamlessly integrate Boro into your existing workflow using WebHook, SNMP, and ControlAPI.
• Operational Efficiency: Reduce the workload on QA and network engineers through automated regular reporting, advanced visualization dashboards, and smart threshold tuning that eliminates false alarms.

JDisc Discovery is a powerful IT asset management and network discovery tool, designed to provide organizations with clear, real-time insights into their entire IT environment. By automatically scanning the network, it identifies and catalogs devices, from physical servers and workstations to virtual machines and network appliances, giving users a detailed inventory of their assets. The tool captures essential data such as hardware specifications, installed software, system configurations, and interdependencies among devices.
A key advantage of JDisc Discovery is its agentless architecture. Rather than requiring installation on each device, it uses multiple protocols (like SNMP, SSH, WMI) to gather information, ensuring quick deployment and compatibility across various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Unix. This makes it ideal for diverse and dynamic IT ecosystems, enabling efficient and non-intrusive data collection.

Sniffnet
Sniffnet is a network monitoring application crafted to assist users in effortlessly tracking their Internet traffic. It not only collects statistics but also delves into detailed network activities, offering extensive monitoring capabilities. The tool prioritizes user-friendliness, making it more accessible than many traditional network analyzers. Available as a completely free and open-source solution, Sniffnet is dual-licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0, with its full source code hosted on GitHub. Built entirely with Rust, this modern programming language enhances the software's efficiency and reliability while prioritizing performance and security. Among its standout features are the ability to choose a network adapter for analysis, implement filters on monitored traffic, observe overall statistics and live charts of Internet activity, export detailed capture reports in PCAP format, and identify over 6,000 upper-layer services, protocols, trojans, and worms. Additionally, it allows users to uncover domain names and ASNs of hosts, as well as trace connections within the local network, making it a versatile tool for network oversight.

tcpdump
Tcpdump serves as a robust command-line tool for analyzing network packets, enabling users to view the details of packets sent or received over the network their computer is connected to. Compatible with a variety of Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and macOS, it leverages the libpcap library for capturing network traffic effectively. This utility can process packets either directly from a network interface card or from a previously recorded packet file, and it offers the flexibility to direct output to either standard output or a file. Users have the option to apply BPF-based filters to manage the volume of packets being analyzed, making it particularly useful in environments experiencing heavy network traffic. Tcpdump is distributed as free software under the BSD license, which promotes accessibility. Moreover, it is often included as a native package or port in numerous operating systems, making updates and ongoing maintenance straightforward for users. This ease of use contributes to its popularity among network administrators and analysts alike.
