Hi!

German Heise ticker noticed me about the following blog entry:

"Open Source Network Monitor Parsers"
http://blogs.technet.com/netmon/archive/2008/09/11/open-source-network-monitor-parsers.aspx

Seems Microsoft noticed, that open source parser development is a good idea for them :-)

The corresponding codeplex page is currently showing "This project is not yet published", so no idea about the licensing they will use.



So if they'll use a reasonable open source license, open source the rest of NetMon as well and do this all in a cross platform way it may become a serious alternative to Wireshark one day ... ;-)
