Network visualization
Usually, in large network setup, it is difficult to visualize the interconnectivity of different nodes and the amount of resources they share between them. If the network size is small then the analysis is not a big issue, but if the network size is big, then it is difficult to make any sort of analysis on it. For this purpose, there are different open source and commercial tools available on the market. The tool that we will be exploring is called Gephi, and we will be exploring more about it in the following section.
Gephi
Gephi is a network visualization tool for analyzing a network in a graphical format. It is an open source application. It displays different types of graphs and charts for better understanding and analysis. It provides many options for customizing the working dataset and interacting with graphs and customizing their appearances to identify patterns. The following are some of the key features of Gephi:
- Real time visualization
- Layout algorithm
- Statistics...
