Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development

The map above shows current traffic flows and traffic patterns across GLORIAD - as measured in Chicago.  In the map, triangles show source of traffic; inverted trianges, destination. Sites connected by arcs are the heavist current consumers. Colors indicate network protocols and can be discovered by the listing of top users at the right. The small charts show traffic volume by application during the last two hours. Clicking on any of them takes you to a larger display.
