Network Flow Visualization
Interactive topology and packet-path view that maps hosts, DNS, ingress, services and observed flows into drill-down network views.
OVERVIEW
What I built.
Interactive topology and packet-path view that maps hosts, DNS, ingress, services and observed flows into drill-down network views.
Built an interactive network topology view around actual hosts, DNS, ingress, services and observed connections.
Added overview, section drill-down and live packet-path views instead of one permanently crowded graph.
Connected topology rendering to network telemetry and packet/payload evidence.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
How the system is divided.
Network/flow collectors -> normalized topology model -> operations API -> Cytoscape.js visualization.
Views separate stable architecture from live/ephemeral flow state.
Host boundaries, service groups and packet routes are represented as distinct semantic layers.
NETWORK / DATA FLOW
What talks to what.
TECHNOLOGY STACK
The technical surface.
IMPLEMENTATION
How it works in practice.
- 01
Network/flow collectors -> normalized topology model -> operations API -> Cytoscape.js visualization.
- 02
Views separate stable architecture from live/ephemeral flow state.
- 03
Host boundaries, service groups and packet routes are represented as distinct semantic layers.
TESTING & VALIDATION
How I know it works.
Synthetic topology fixture tests
Production feed contract review
JavaScript syntax checks
Live deployment verification
Flow/route selection and drill-down behavior
Packet/payload evidence correlation
EXTERNAL SERVICES & DEPENDENCIES
What sits outside the core.
ENGINEERING EVIDENCE
Artifacts behind the claims.
BOUNDARIES / CONSTRAINTS
What the project does not pretend to solve.
—Synthetic fixtures do not prove production ingress wiring
—Ephemeral flows must not distort stable topology
—Layout should remain readable at low complexity
RESULT / CURRENT STATE
What this produced.
A network UI that explains how traffic moves through the environment instead of showing an undifferentiated graph.
