What is ViPER

ViPER (Visualization for PingER) is an interactive Java application being developed by the MAGGIE-NS team from the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) Institute of Information Technology (NIIT) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) Internet End-to-end Performance Monitoring (IEPM) project. ViPER’s purpose is to visually present the location of all the PingER nodes on the world map, show links between PingER Monitoring and Remote nodes and provide visual representation of all the data monitored by PingER.

PingER 

PingER (Ping End-to-end Reporting) is the name given to the Internet End-to-end Performance Measurement (IEPM) project to monitor end-to-end performance of Internet links, developed by the IEPM group at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The network performance of more than 300 hosts are monitored worldwide.

Project Aim

The basic aim of the project is to provide ubiquitous access to monitoring information.

Motivation

Monitoring information is of great value to scientists, network engineers and researchers. There is a need for the presentation of monitoring information in a pervasive manner. This would help scientists in carrying out analysis on monitoring information in order to make their networks more efficient.  Both web and hand held clients will be developed so scientist can access monitoring information wherever they are.
