cNIS Visualisation and User Interface

cNIS provides an intuitive user interface from which the user can enter specific information to manually populate the database. A range of presentation modules enable the user to display topology data results in a number of formats.


GÉANT network visualisation: Different details of topology data can be displayed by geographic location. Typical link speeds are distinguished by different colours.	Node details on google maps visualisation: Node details and link information can be displayed directly below the map.	Flash visualisation: Network structure can be displayed on an interactive diagram, highlighting interconnections between network layers.


IP discovery control pane: On-demand network discovery can be started on the fly from a control panel. It is also possible to schedule the discovery for specified periods of time.	Ethernet discovery results: The user can view and revise topology discovery results before saving them to the database.	Router list: Topology data can be edited and explored through a set of tables and panels. An intuitive structure helps finding appropriate data.
