WiR3D v0.1

WiR3D is the project to build NMS with GTK GUI. The name should be pronounced like 'wired' and it comes from the combination of Wire and 3D, as it has a feature to draw a three-dimentional topology layout of wired or wireless LAN (see the screenshots).
Most of the currently available free solutions offer only web interface which is good just for a remote access. The arguments for an NMS program with application GUI are:

user friendlienes
more features
better loading speed and refresh rate

The current version of WiR3D is 0.2. It includes PING/SNMP network scanner and 3D topology visualiser all written in Perl. The video below demonstrate the new features and their usage in practice:
