network visualization

[kalcio]

hi,
I want to make an application in java to visualize on graphic the network (the name and addresses of local servers of the company ... for example) using the tracert command, if any one can enlighten me that idea, because Internet is a wide world.

I recomend you to use GraphViz, it is a really simple to use graph toolkit I used it to represent codeblocks withing thre address code in order to run some optimizations.

then you run the tracert like:

Process p;
p =Runtime.getRuntime().exec("tracert <options>");
readResult(p.getInputStream());
p.destroy();

where readResult is where you handle the inputstream and draw the graph by parsing the results.

Hope it helps

oh by the way, you will need the graphviz java api

and if you want a pure java implementation you can use JGraph but this one is a little harder to use but it looks awesome when done :)

Suggest look at www.codimatech.com they are visulizing networks you may even want to contact the developers in that company as they have spent 10 years+ on your subject
