The "Network Dashboard"

Evolution of d.f's network dashboard.

  • Began when we initially deployed BGP4 routing protocol.

  • We wanted to *see* our network route balance in real-time.
    (beyond what IOS' "show IP BGP * commands would)

  • Chose CyberGauge.
    (because even idiots like us could figure it out!)

  • Initially just monitored our "T-1" connections.

  • Grew to cover our whole network eventually.

  • Recently moved from the back of the datacenter to the lobby.
