CS 640 project for Fall 2005

As project, you will extend the application developed last Fall by CS 640 students: Wisconsin Netpy. It is an Internet traffic analysis and visualization application using NetFlow data collected by routers. This description of the project assumes that there will be four teams working on different parts of the project. Currently Netpy is divided into three main components: the database, the analysis engine, and the user interface (includes the GUI and the console). Three of the teams will take ownership of these components and the fourth one will be working on extensions to the traffic analysis functionality that will be implemented as plugins to the main application. Table 1 summarizes the features to implement, sorted by priority. How many of these features will get implemented depends on how many of you will work on the project. The lower priority features are more likely to be cut. I hope that you will come up with some ideas of features you would like to add.
