[HECnet] HECnet map

[Keith Halewood]

Hi Paul,

That's fantastic. It most definitely beats my non-geographic attempt with Graphify or whatever it was called.
I'd like to get to the bottom of the proxy problem though. In the end I reinstated a default account for the NML object.
Without it, and the appropriate proxies in place, the VAXen here can NICE to each other without a problem.
The proxy I added for your mapper didn't seem to work - and I still can't find a definitive answer, just a vague recollection that is totally lacking in any useful detail.

Gentlepeople,

I've added a map maker to PyDECnet, which is now on-line on HECnet.  It currently refreshes once every 24 hours, showing locations and paths between the locations.  You can hover over the location markers to see nodes that have been recently observed, or click on the markers to see all nodes whether observed or not.  Clicking on the connecting arcs will tell you which nodes have connections on that path.

The map is here: http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/map

You can also see a tabular display of the data collected by the network scanner, at http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/map/data .  Right now that link isn't shown, I'll add that.

Feedback would be welcome.  There is no map legend yet.  The button on the upper right is the "layers" tool that lets you chose among a number of map sources, and lets you turn the location and/or path information on or off.  

The default map is OpenStreetMap, and the mapping interface machinery is the Leaflet package, a very nice and easy to use tool.
