This program receives many connection from evaluators (master and slaves) for loggin, like syslog(1).
Accoring to the structure of experiment master said, the program draws the topology of experiment. When user click the node on topology over window, the program draws the statistics of nodes reports. The report depends on users scenario.
The program waits connections from clients. When the client connect this, the program call foreign program and send the output of foreign program to the client connection.
Since netstat has buffering of output, graph program(e.g, ev) often draws them bulky. It degrade the benefit of ev, realtimeness. Then, I wrote a program without buffering instead of netstat.
Idea of that is simple. The program prints /proc/net/dev with several seconds interval.
