Real Time Visualization
of a Peer to Peer Network

MOVIE: gtv.avi
(1:14, 14.1 MB) This
short film shows a capture of our visualization running on the Gnutella network
in realtime. The text at the bottom provides information about the currently
selected gnutella servant. Along the left side, you can see search queries that
our system has seen on the nework. Periodically, the user shift-clicks on a
node to recenter the network. The node turns purple and moves toward the center,
shifting the whole network to compensate. When the user left-clicks on a node,
he is issuing a query into the rest of the network. The selected node turns
red and other nodes that see that query also flash red. (captured on
