It's in EWMH's specification.
Google for it.

Could you please be a little bit more specific? I know now that it is in the docs but I still don't know how it is called or what I am looking for.

Its in something called notification area... Its been quite long since I've got into EWMH... So I might be a bit off...

If you need popups for your network status, than you need KNemo. This tool is a network monitoring tool, it provides a lot of useful info about your network, like IP address, HW address, sent/received bytes/packets, speed, uptime, etc. It has a traffic plotter too.

You seem to be referring to the tooltip-type popup in the top right. Creating those will depend on the envirinment you are using and/or the toolkit used by the program. Most toolkits provide this capability.

I am using Gnome and GTK2 for that. Well PyGTK but I am guessing that most things are ported to it.
