SonNet  is a free software package developed in the audio programming language ChucK to give computer music composers access to low-level computer network information. SonNet executes a packet-sniffing and network connection state analysis automatically, and includes an easy-to-use ChucK object that can be instantiated, customized, and queried from a user's own code.
