RoutingWatch: Visual Exploration and Analysis of Routing Events
Network operators invest significant resources in monitoring and troubleshooting the infrastructure they run. Currently, the availability of large networks of probing devices, like, for example, RIPE Atlas, dramatically increases the amount of data an operator can rely on. In particular, the large amount of traceroutes they can produce are both an opportunity and a challenge. In this paper we provide a detailed description of RoutingWatch, a visual tool for interactively performing searches and analysis of routing events inferred from a large set of traceroutes. The key design choices of RoutingWatch are based on discussions with network operators. We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach by conducting a preliminary user study.
