Objectives

Main goal it to implement a tool built upon idea presented in Joe's Metzger perfSONAR Traceroute Visualizer tool. VisualPerfSONAR is:

• web based application which enables its user, for the given specific IP path (most often the output of the traceroute command) to view the statistics for all the interfaces along the path using perfSONAR Measurement Archives (MA)
• user gets the graphical representation of the path over the geographical map using geographical coordinates of the interfaces, when available

Achievements

• VisualPerfSONAR web interface (beta version)
• VisualperfSONAR is now using DNS LOC record to retrieve GPS coordinates
• An upgrade to Google Maps API Version 2 has been made

Next steps

• adopt the tool to use DNS LOC record in orther to retrieve geographical coordinates of interfaces; at later stage use Topology service.
• redesign the graphical interface making it more modular and suitable for future extenzions
• utilize Lookup service to retrieve MA locations

• create classes for working with the netflow subscription MP
• prepare the user interface
• connect with the traceroute tab
• prepare interface for the graph customisation
• do some testing

utilise “IPPM Measurement” tab:

• create php classes for the collection of IPPM measurement
• create classes for the traceroute overlapping between HADES traceroutes & our own
• prepare the user interface
• connect with the traceroute tab

• do some testing

upgrade “Testing ground” tab:

• reorganise request examples, make them in sync with the perfsonar wiki samples
• make possible to cancel the request

upgrade “Traceroute” tab:

• make intelligent links to other tabs
