Description: Guess which LAN a network device is connected to
Guessnet is a non-aggressive network detection tool to use when moving
a machine among networks which don't necessarily provide DHCP.
.
Guessnet takes in input a list of candidate network profiles,
each of which includes a test description; then it runs all
the tests in parallel and prints the name of the profile whose
test was the first one to succeed.
.
Available tests are:
* ARP probes to check for known hosts in the network
* link beat check, to check if the interface is connected to anything
* PPPOE check to see if there is a concentrator accessible via PPPOE
* Checks provided by custom arbitrary scripts.
.
Guessnet can be used in either native mode or "ifupdown mode".
In the latter case guessnet integrates nicely with ifupdown
as a "mapping script".
