Abstract :
PingTV is used at Illinois State University as a visualization tool to communicate real-time network conditions to the university community via a dedicated channel on the campus cable TV system. Colored symbols allow students and staff to discern high-congestion "rush hours" and understand why their specific Internet connectivity is "broken" from the wide range of potential causes
