IPplan vs Rome2Rio

IPplan is a free, self-hosted web application for administering and tracking IP address space. It can manage one or multiple networks and customer records, including overlapping address space. Administrators can find free ranges, split or join networks, search records, review statistics and keep an audit log of contents before and after changes. Network definitions can be imported from routing tables, tab-delimited files or NMAP XML. For DNS, IPplan supports forward and reverse zones, zone-transfer imports and XML exports. Group-based profiles let administrators set address-space boundaries, including read-only access. Authentication can use IPplan’s internal scheme or an external Apache module, including LDAP-based schemes and SiteMinder. Templates can add custom circuit, host-configuration and asset fields, while triggers can call user-defined functions on events. An external poller can scan subnets for active addresses, and configured SNMP support can read router routing tables. Deployment requires a web server, PHP and a database; documented database options include MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. The documentation prefers Apache and notes some workarounds may be needed with databases other than MySQL.

Rome2Rio searches routes between places around the world and compares door-to-door ways to travel from A to B. Results include transport types, journey times, distances, fare estimates, and operator names, with filters for price, speed, or mode. Options include trains, buses, flights, trams, ferries, taxis, self-drive, walking, shuttles, and towncars. Rome2Rio says it covers more than 240 countries and territories, 10 million locations, and 20,000 transport operators. The service is free, with unlimited searches, and is available on web, Android, and iOS. Account holders can save and organize multi-stop trips, compare travel modes between legs, and access saved trips across devices; Trip Planner works on desktop and mobile web. Rome2Rio does not sell tickets directly: it sends users to ticketing partners to complete bookings. Changes, cancellations, and refunds must be handled with the ticketing partner. Fare estimates can change with availability and seasonality, and some journeys show a range rather than an exact price. Hotel results also transfer users to booking partners.
