VisuGATOR - A Visualization Tool for Networking Protocol Analysis

VisuGATOR is a protocol visualization tool that allows the scanning of trace data quickly and to easily identify pathological situations. VisuGATOR is flexible and configurable to display key trace data as space time diagrams with color coding for local protocol states. By incorporating variable time resolution, most of the traces can be examined quickly at a high level, and the interesting segments can then be scrutinized in greater detail. VisuGATOR is freely available from the University of Florida, where the tool is undergoing development to make it adaptable for visualization of general network protocols.
