From 2000-2004, CAIDA collected information on the availability of Internet and TCP/IP measurement tools as well as network visualization resources and created an
Internet Tools Taxonomy. While the taxonomy is no longer actively maintained, it continues to serve as a starting resource for those interested in Internet measurement tools.
For a more recent and updated overview of CAIDA-supported tools, see the CAIDA Tools page.
Tools are categorized with respect to their intent. A summary is provided along with web page pointers to more detailed information. Review comments are also included when available.
