Indiana University just won the Internet2 Driving Exemplary Applications (IDEA) award for their “Worldview” networking monitoring and visualization tool. The tool monitors over 3,300 interconnects between 1,700 switching devices across various networks, and provides a highly sophisticated multi-touch visualization interface to analyze the data.
Wheeler said users have already imagined numerous ideas for other applications and additional data layers. For instance, Worldview can be used to track the impact of the nation's broadband stimulus projects, overlaying collected census block data to show unserved and underserved areas and how those areas change over time as broadband becomes more pervasive.
