Abstract
A new network topology visualization integrates out-of-view and topology overview information into the navigational frame bars of the primary topology view to save screen space and make the associated information more tightly bound to the working view area. This way, the user does not need to go back and forth between two disconnected and distinct view areas, and more screen space will be available for conveying useful information.
