Re: [AFMUG] Displaying backhaul traffic on a map live

[D. Ryan Spott]

I have made some of these maps for 48 and 96 port switches pointing to 
individual hadoop cluster members. Pointy-haired bosses LOVE them.

I'm using Network Weathermap integrated w/ Cacti. Makes it easy to 
visualize traffic flow on the network. Could be prettier, but it works.

What do you mean by traffic? Do you want to show your links with a label
showing current throughput or something different? If you are looking for
placing the objects on map layers, you should look at leaflet. It is a very
lightweight, all javascript, mapping api with a better feature set than
Google or Bing. You can use open street or a number of open source tile
layers or even get plugins for Google or Bing Areial/Hybid tiles. If you
are used to working with Google Mapping API, leaflet is easy to pick up.

It's ancient and sort of a pain to work with (Network Weathermap), but it
does a decent job when configured properly.

My problem with The Dude is that it kills CPU on my routers (mostly smaller
routers).  I spun up a POC of it just to show a map with semi-real time
traffic, but had to shut it down due to it maxing out CPU on several of my
routers throughout the day.  Maybe it was configured incorrectly.. who
knows, but I think this is a common problem.

[AFMUG] Displaying backhaul traffic on a map live

[Andreas Wiatowski]

I’m wondering if anyone can suggest a method to display a live map of traffic 
on Google or Bing Map?  We use THE DUDE for our network mapping / topology, but 
the built in web server crashes when we use an android box / software to 
display the map on a TV.
