Background
PerfSONAR is a distributed network monitoring protocol that utilises the power of XML and Web-services. In this realm, it is very important that network managers and users can get a feel for the data that the the services provide.
This project focusses on developing advanced visualisation tools that will leverage the power of PerfSONAR such that Network Operation Centers, Network Managers and others can quickly, efficiently and logically drill down to understand network performances etc.
The backend of the PerfSONAR suite will encompass network measurements from Internet2, ESnet, GEANT and various other ISP's throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
Aim
The aim of this project is to implement the visualization of PerfSONAR network topology. Idea is to gather topology related information from multiple PerfSONAR measurement archive and build and map the topology based on that information.
Deliverables
- Converting Traceroute Topology into NMWG defined XML schema
- A graphical and interactive front end using Touchgraph to present global information about the network.
- The ability to automatically poll the perfsonar MA and MP services to gather and display data in pie charts, spider charts, time series plots etc. e.g. using JFreeChart
- Implementation should be completed based on design patterns and should use Object oriented approach.
