Infrastructure Map & Network Topology
RoutePulse includes an interactive multi-tab Leaflet map with three visualization modes: Infrastructure topology, GeoIP traffic heatmap, and Live flow arcs. The Infrastructure tab plots core routers as blue markers and IXP presences as green markers, with peer status indicators and interconnection lines showing the physical and logical topology of the network. Coordinates are sourced from PeeringDB facility data with GeoIP fallback for entries not registered in PeeringDB. An exclusive IXP prefix count metric shows prefixes reachable only through IXP peers and not available via transit — a key indicator of peering value. Router vendor detection via SNMP sysDescr identifies hardware from Juniper, Huawei, and MikroTik, displaying their respective logos on the map.
The GeoIP traffic tab overlays a city-level MaxMind heat layer with country breakdown tables and host markers, providing geographic context for traffic patterns. The Live flow tab renders great-circle arc animations showing real-time traffic flows on the world map with pulsing source and destination markers. Per-router stats include a status dot, vendor badge, protocol indicator (IPv4/IPv6), model, uptime from SNMP sysUpTime, peer counts, and prefix counts. The infrastructure comprises 5 routers: 2 core routers (a Juniper MX and a Huawei NetEngine, each at 40 Gbps) plus 3 IXP routers at SwissIX, MIX-IT, and MINAP running at 10 Gbps each. Network topology visualization links to the Weathermap for utilization overlays, and the entire map refreshes automatically every 10 seconds to maintain a live operational picture.
