Abstract :
This article deals with an experimental version of the software used to visualize the network, provide the possibility to simulate topological and configuration changes, analyze and redesign the network. This tool was successfully deployed in the HKFree community wireless network, consisting of a large number of routers that use the OSPF routing protocol. Its primary purpose is to assist the network administrators in solving problems, creating and maintaining documentation and designing future changes.
