Network utilities are tools and software that help manage, monitor, and troubleshoot computer networks. This page ranks 11 open-source network utilities projects by a health score recomputed every night from repository data; nothing else affects the order. MyIP leads at 96/100 with 535 commits in the last 90 days and 12k stars, followed by NetAlertX (95) and beelzebub (93). 7 of the 11 score 70 or above, 10 publish a Docker image, and the median health is 76. MIT is the most common licence, carried by 8 of them. Between them they stand in for Speedtest.net and Fing. The score weighs commits in the last 90 days, release recency, stars, archive status and Docker support; a low number means low measurable activity, not low quality, so a finished, stable tool can legitimately sit lower down.
