Visualization of network simulation events or network visualization is an effective and low cost method to evaluate the health and status of a network and analyze network designs, protocols, and network algorithms. This research designed and developed a network event visualization framework using an open source general visualization toolkit. This research achieved three major milestones during the development of this framework: A robust network simulator trace file parser, multiple network visualization layouts--including user-defined layouts, and precise visualization timing controls and integrated display of network statistics. The toolkit design is readily extensible allowing developers to easily expand the framework to meet research-specific visualization goals.
