有效管理网络基础设施需要管理员适当了解最新的数据网络系统状态。在安装新的通信设备和修复网络故障时，准确的理解尤为重要。本文提出了一个基于增强现实(AR)的网络拓扑可视化系统，用于辅助实际工作环境中的管理员。该系统通过管理员佩戴的头盔显示器(HMD)设备，以图形方式显示与特定网络节点(如路由器或交换机)相关的网络配置信息和物理布线结构。该系统不仅支持管理员高效地执行网络管理任务，而且还支持学员学习实用的网络管理知识和技能。
Effectively managing network infrastructure requires administrators to appropriately understand up-to-data network system status. Accurate understandings are especially crucial when installing new communication equipment and fixing network failures. In this paper, we propose a network topology visualization system based on AR (Augmented Reality) for assisting an administrator in real working environments. The proposed system graphically visualizes network configuration information and physical cabling structure related to a specific network node such as a router or a switch through an HMD (Head Mounted Display) device worn by the administrator. The system supports not only the administrator to efficiently performing the network management task but also trainees to acquire practical knowledge and skills on network administration.
