Loom with a View (Beta)

This is an experimental, auto-generated dashboard of the dataplane of the FABRIC testbed. Data and graphs for this dashboard are generated using Patchwork, which is invoked every few days across the whole of FABRIC to gather a snapshot of its network activity.
See our paper on Patchwork if you'd like to find out how the whole process works.


Beta release: Please send feedback and data/visualization requests to Nik Sultana. You're also welcome to get in touch to contribute code or other improvements. All the code that generated this data (and this page) is open source.
