java front-ends to cflowd ARTS data

---

I've recently revived my efforts to create some simple java tools for viewing data collected by cflowd. These efforts are now supported by the CAIDA membership program (instead of on my own time).

I'm working toward applets which bundle support for all of the plot types and datasets, but currently I'm still in a single-applet-per-dataset mode of development, using my findings as further requirements for the more functional applets to come (and building some reusable lower layers along the way).

The first set of examples all use applets I wrote using JClass Chart from KL Group. These have functionality I would like to have in the future applets:

• Do data selection from the applet so users are not forced to go through forms to change datasets.
• Use java to set date selection field(s) to the current day.
• Permit stepping through multiple input interface on a single router, showing one plot at a time (maximizes screen space for the plot, reduces browser JVM work).

They also work with real data from a CAIDA router (192.172.226.1). Some of you might notice that this data contains interface names and IP addresses. This is a feature of the latest cflowd and arts++ packages which are not yet available to the public (or members, but members will have it soon). It uses a patched version of SNMP++ to grab this information via SNMP and place it in the arts++ data as attributes.

• Traffic by Protocol (pie chart)
• Traffic by Protocol vs. Time (stacked bar chart)
• Traffic by Source AS (pie chart)
• Traffic by Destination AS (pie chart)

This one uses a canned JClass Chart applet and HTML tables to show traffic by port number.

• Traffic by Port (pie charts and tables)

These generate HTML tables. They do not use java; it's just HTML generated on the server side.

• AS Matrix
• Interface Matrix

These are old static examples of plot types I'd like to support.

• traffic to top 20 destination ASes vs. time, daily plot
• traffic to top 20 destination ASes vs. time, weekly plot
