Abstract

The increasing availability of network testbeds and the benefits of visualization-based security study call for the emergence of supporting tools for network security research. In this article we present ESVT, an integrated experiment specification and visualization toolkit that supports network experimenters to conduct interactive experiments on network testbeds such as DETER and Emulab. The ESVT package includes a topology builder including experiment specification, a TCL script generator, and various visualization tools. The unique feature of ESVT visualization is the combination of topology-based network animation for global awareness and detailed data analysis support through a complete set of data conversion, data selection, and graphical analytical tools.
