Display Logical Links Between Nodes
Currently, only physical links are displayed between two nodes It would be useful to display logical links between nodes to represent a relationship/connection between them, for example:
- Traffic flows
- Sidelink connections between wireless nodes
- TCP connections
- WiFi association
From the module, the user should be able to:
- Show/hide the link
- set an offset/position of the line
- adjust appearance of the line:
- Color
- Thickness
- Solid/Dashed
Agreed on this, and wondering about also adding routes (multi-hop paths) to show routing paths, paths that traffic flows are actually traversing, etc. Not sure if you consider that a separate feature request or an extension of this.
Displaying this kind of links are good while visualizing wired networks. But, I believe that displaying 'too much logical link with lines' while visualizing a wireless ad hoc network scenario will spoil the elegance of 'wireless' nature of that scenario.
From the module, the user should be able to:
Show/hide the link set an offset/position of the line adjust appearance of the line: Color Thickness Solid/Dashed
This is good—So, in such case, we may use dotted lines of very light colors without disturbing the very 'wireless nature' of the scenario.
Just a thought.
How is this work going? I try to show the communication process in the network. For example, the communication status between nodes or the process of sending and receiving packets can be displayed.
