Could you build this?
No Building a real-time network connection monitor requires low-level OS kernel tracing (e.g., eBPF on Linux, Network Extension API on macOS, or WFP on Windows) to capture live socket telemetry securely.
What it would actually take: The application needs system-level daemon code in C, Rust, or Go tapping into OS socket events using eBPF, Apple Network Extensions, or Windows Filtering Platform (WFP), mapping socket PIDs to active executables. It must bundle a local GeoIP database (like MaxMind) for real-time IP-to-location mapping, stream the metrics via local IPC, and render the graph in a local UI framework while handling high throughput without network degradation.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
