Talk to devices and servers at the network level. Ping checks availability; the TCP and UDP clients and servers send and receive raw data, for protocols no other plugin covers.

| Plugin | What it does | Pins |
|---|---|---|
| Ping | Sends one ICMP echo request (ping) to a host for every record it receives and emits the result. Use it for simple availability checks of servers and network devices. | Input, Output, Continue |
| Tcp client | Opens a persistent TCP connection to a remote server, writes the bytes of every input record to it and, optionally, emits everything the server sends back. Use it to talk to devices or services with a raw TCP protocol. | Input, Output, Continue |
| TCP server | Listens for TCP connections on an address and port, emits all received data as TcpDatagram records and sends data back to a specific client through the Response pin. Use it to accept connections from devices or services that speak a raw TCP protocol. The component keeps the flow running. | Start, Request, Response, Tcp events |
| UDP client | Sends the bytes of every input record as one UDP datagram to a configured address and port, and optionally emits the datagrams the remote side sends back. Use it for UDP-based devices, telemetry or simple request/reply protocols. | Input, Output, Continue |
| UDP server | Listens on a UDP port and emits every received datagram as a UdpDatagram record. Use it to receive telemetry, syslog-style messages or device notifications sent over UDP. The component keeps the flow running. | Start, Output |
