What is GT-IPNET?
GT-IPNET is a GNUTUX project aimed at providing a unified graphical interface for common Linux networking tools such as ping, traceroute, nmap, whois, dig, and others, without needing the command line. Version 2.0.0 adds an advanced Network Controller (blocking and bandwidth limiting) with background process persistence.
