GSoC'25 idea: Traceroute visualization (continuation of GSoC'24)

[dpgiakatos]

Operators would like to have a better way to visualize latency increases in upstream networks. We have a lot of traceroute data from RIPE Atlas but we miss a good visualization to show traceroute details. The goal of this project is to design and implement a page on IHR to visualize traceroute results from RIPE Atlas. There is some good tools to get inspired from (tracemon and thousand eyes path visualization, having our own would be great so we can integrate it with other tools (e.g. IYP, AS Hegemony).

Expected results:

• Create a VueJS component that fetch traceroute results from RIPE Atlas
• Display the results in intuitive graphs, showing the IP paths and corresponding RTT values
• Integrate with IYP data

Knowledge Prerequisite:

• Be familiar with existing traceroute code
• Good understanding of traceroute
• Javascript
• VueJS
• Visualization library (i.e. Plotly or D3.js)
