A visual modeling method of entity-based network architecture

Abstract

With the development of Internet technology, the traditional network is more difficult to meet the needs of new applications. Researchers make a thorough analysis and research of the next generation Internet at home and abroad. This paper proposes a visual modeling method of entity-based network architecture, by making a comprehensive analysis and design of network systems from the perspective of the architecture. This method is the further study of the formal modeling method of network architecture. This paper offers the researchers practical solutions to design, manage and maintain new network architecture graphically. After that, based on object-oriented idea, the network architecture visual modeling tool is designed and implemented. The tool is called Designer for Network Architecture. At last, a router is modeled using the visual modeling tool as an example.
