We at Compiler do love us some truly useless nerd games/tools/programs, so I was very excited to run across the following video of NetQos's network traffic monitoring system, Netcosm. NetQoS has transformed their network monitoring interface into a Tron-style arcade game of epic proportions.
Unfortunately the system is not available to the general public, for the time being it only runs on their servers but there's an FAQ that gives some more details about how it works.
If you're interested in similar network traffic toys see our coverage of Sound of Traffic which converts network traffic packets into sounds, complete with virtual instruments and mixing tools.
And check out the NetQoS video after the jump.
