Network Weathermaps

Using an open-source software called INANNA, a web-based network weathermap can show the current bandwidth consumption for each link in the network using colorful arrows that nearly represent the current traffic utilization. The system interoperates with MRTG system. By clicking on the image or link in the network map, you will be taken to the MRTG graphs for that link. Also, some routers , when hovered, will show you the current Netflow traffic.
 
   
 

PREGINET Network

The PREGINET network consists of 3 exchange points and at least 16 access points strategically positioned in the three main archipelagos of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The overall PREGINET Weathermap is then subdivided into three main regions - the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao Network.

Basically, a weathermap will show the current bandwidth consumption of the network 's links. It will let us see which links are under or over utilized. The color was being based by the INANNA program in the existing MRTG logs. So, the network weathermap co-exis ts with MRTG. If you want to know the detailed MRTG graph of the link, just hover your mouse in the colored link. If your browser is Internet Explorer 5 or higher, the Javascript will work. A window will pop-up showing the hourly MRTG g raph. If the Javascript doesn't work once you hover your mouse pointer on the link, the browser you are using does not support Java scripts. The weathermap refreshes every 5 minutes or less. If you want to view the updated map, just hit refresh in your browser or wait a couple of miuntes and it will refresh by itself. The PREGINET Network Weathermap is divided into three major weathermaps representi ng Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. When you visit each weathermap you will see the geographic locations of the exchange poin ts (XP's), access points (AP's) and partner institutions.
