Hierarchical Network Maps are a scalable approach to the presentation of IP-related measurements on the global Internet. This study focuses on how to extend them for emphasizing the source destination relationship of network traffic aggregated on IP prefix, autonomous system, country, or continent. Edge bundles consisting of several spline curves visually group traffic that shares common ancestor nodes along the IP/AS hierarchy.
