VisualperfSONAR

Objectives

The main goal is to implement a tool built upon an idea presented in Joe's Metzger perfSONAR Traceroute Visualizer tool talk. 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
use Lookup service to retrieve MA locations
