Abstract

Web visualization is of importance for distributed measurement system. It can help network operators optimize network more effectively. In this paper, we introduce a visualization method based on HTML5. HTML5 is the next version of Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), aiming to reduce the need for dynamic visualization technologies based on third party plug-ins, like Adobe Flash. Measurement data are displayed on the web in the form of plot using HTML5 canvas tag. The plot can be refreshed dynamically with real-time measurement data by using Ajax. This paper also describes how to utilize HTML5 to implement network topology visualization. The topology graph can display state of monitoring nodes. In brief, the utilization of HTML5 in this system meets the need of dynamic visualization without third party plug-ins.
