Description
This project is a collaboration between Carleton University and Ciena for the purpose of developing a graphical user interface, and the supporting database backend, to allow users to explore the way that network data varies across time. This project places a special emphasis on modelling time series network topology data which may be supplemented with alarm and performance monitoring data. The project will be built on Ciena’s Navigator Control Suite which has been used to control, optimize, and monitor many of the world’s largest telecommunications networks. Regular captures from these networks provide snapshots of the network topology. In large networks, the topology is constantly evolving. The purpose of this Capstone project is to enhance the viewer to empower users to look across time, including: i) updating the relational data model to allow multiple captures to coexist in the same database; ii) introducing git-like branching and versioning of the network state; and iii) Allowing the user to select an attribute in the UI and request to see how that attribute varied across time.
