Peep (The Network Auralizer)

Some time ago I thought it would be a smashing idea if network admins could 'listen' to their network, with traffic load, type, origin and destination being rendered in realtime as different types/locations/intensities of background noise (eg birds, traffic). When everything was chugging along normally, it would fade into the background of the admin's perception, but when things suddenly change, it would draw attention to itself.

Well, Peep does exactly that, and sounds just as I imagined it would. Super awesome.
