Server side mod(s) and post-analysis tool(s)

• gmod1.1 (9/27/01) (updates gmod1.0 released 9/8/01)
• Server vm mod for QuakeIII Arena 1.31, 1.30 and 1.29h, supports logging of client IP addresses, port numbers, and 'real-time' sampling of the server's ping (latency) estimates (per-client frame, from the server's perspective).
• The gzip'd tarfile contains instructions, a pre-compiled qagame.qvm file, and a set of diffs to the 1.29h source code. the user is presumed to know how to set up a basic quake3 server and install/run vm mods. (re-compiling from source code is optional, but not necessary.)
• A version of this mod for QuakeIII Arena 1.17 is also available here (just the gzip'd qagame.qvm file)
• The README.txt from the tarfile (note that while originally developed using the 1.29h source code, this mod also appears to work as-is with QuakeIII versions 1.31 and 1.30.)
• gmodstat-0.2.1 (11/6/01) (updates gmodstat-0.1 released 9/28/01)
• Post-analysis tool for QuakeIII Arena logfiles generated by servers running the gmod1.1 server mod.
• Create ping histograms for individual clients or the most frequent players, summarize cumulative playing times, estimate the penetration of NAT boxes in the player community, and summarize ping distributions as a function of Internet location.
• The gzip'd tarfile contains source code, instructions, and tools to compile gmodstat under Win32 (with MS Visual C++ ) or under gcc in a *nix environment (confirmed under FreeBSD4.3).
• The README.txt from the tarfile
• pkthisto-0.2 (10/10/02) (updates  pkthisto-0.1.2 released 10/28/01)
• Packet traffic analysis tool for extracting packet length histograms and inter-packet arrival histograms of online game traffic. 
• Originally developed for monitoring traffic in and out of a QuakeIII server.
• Version 0.2 supports XBox system-link game traffic
  
• pkthisto can take raw tcpdump or NAI Sniffer tracefiles as input, or perform real-time capture 'off the wire'. It automagically identifies and isolates UDP/IP flows, and creates histograms for flows that represent active clients in and out of one or more servers. Uses up far less disk space than raw tcpdump or Sniffer tracefiles.
• pkthisto-0.2 compiles under FreeBSD4.6 (and possibly other platforms). Real-time capture is currently limited to platforms supporting the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) driver. Post-capture analysis of tcpdump or Sniffer tracefiles is supported on any platform.
