CLI-Network Tool

Truss

truss is a Linux failover network manager CLI written in Rust. It continuously measures internet health on the active uplink using interface-bound ping probes, and it switches the default route to a backup uplink when the primary becomes degraded or dead.

Key Highlights

  • Checks reachability, average latency, and packet loss against multiple targets.
  • Declares the current uplink unhealthy after a configurable number of bad rounds.
  • Replaces the Linux default route with a backup gateway.
  • Probes the primary while running on backup and automatically fails back after sustained recovery.
