Description
Summary:In this demonstration, we present IP network designer: interfaces for IP network simulation. The IP network designer consists of two subsystems: the IP network design workbench and a 3D simulator. IP network design workbench is intended to support a collaborative design and simulation of an IP network by a group of network designers and their customers. This system is based on a tangible user interface platform called "sensetable" and allows users to directly manipulate network topologies. Users can control parameters of nodes and links using physical pucks on the sensing table and simultaneously see the simulation results projected onto the table. 3D simulator provides a 3D view of simulation results. Users can see traffic packets flow as if they are inside the network. This system allows users to understand network behavior intuitively.
