Survey on network topology visualization

As the basis of network monitoring,network management,and network security situation awareness,network topology visualization plays an underlying role in reflecting the whole state of the network and discovering the potential rules in the network topology.The basic content of network topology visual...

description As the basis of network monitoring,network management,and network security situation awareness,network topology visualization plays an underlying role in reflecting the whole state of the network and discovering the potential rules in the network topology.The basic content of network topology visualization was introduced and the main challenges in the research of network topology visualization were summarized from two aspects:the internal characteristics of network data and the point of the applied demand angle of the users.A top-down VPI model for network topology visualization and analysis drawing from the experience of domain experts by analyzing and understanding the nodes and connection status of network topology,having an insight into the potential laws of topological information like performance bottleneck,network security,time-varying characteristics and so on.This model includes vision,procedure,and interaction.According to the VPI model,visualization methods based on perception enhance were summarized from three aspects:enhancement of visual perception,enhancement of time-varied procedure and enhancement of exploratory interaction.Finally,future development trend of those topics were discussed combined with application demand.
