Large Scale Network Topology Visualization System Based on Three.JS

摘要

With the rapid development of visualization, network visualization has become an important branch, which is applied in many aspects of life such as business, education and virtual community. But existed network visualization systems are based on small volume and static effect. Along with the incessant expansion of modern internet scale, traditional tools' practicality decrease. Showing huge information of network clearly and effectively will be of great signification. In our paper, large-scale network topology visualization system is finished by using Web 3D technique - Three.JS in process of building and analysis, which can display topology clearly. As middleware, Node.JS can transfer communication data forward or backward instantaneously, which can solve the problem of dynamic and real-time 3D effects. Node-Webkit framework helps realize its cross-platform feature. This solution can run smoothly and clearly under the 10~3 order of magnitudes network topology. It makes large scale network visualization more direct and convenient.
