[ANN] Network Tracer

[Andre Alves Garzia]

Bob,

It is a joke but it is also true :-)

For example, in the Network Tracer stack there is code to avoid showing 
duplicate messages because here on my home network, all the datagrams 
are arriving three times. So a single "ntInfo" call on a standalone 
amounted to three datagrams with the same message arriving on the 
dashboard. But arriving multiple times is better than not arriving, 
which also happens.

I am considering in the near future going like my "decentralization talk 
on LC Global" and use UDP for peer discovery and TCP for sending actual 
data, it is just that UDP is sooooo convenient and for this simple 
debugging purpose it is quite adequate. Anyway, we'll see how the 
feedback goes and change as needed. For my own personal usage it is 
going great.

Cheers

Any call to the APIs provided will appear in the Dashboard stack provided that both the Dashboard and the standalone (or another IDE on another machine) are both in the same network (LAN, WIFI) and the your firewall is allowing incoming connections on port 8001 (should just work).
