Mostly Cloudy, Clearing Later: Network Weather Maps

    Extending the meteorological metaphor beyond the familiar Internet cloud, we could use Net weather forecasts to show oncoming packet storms. Of course, maps are the key means of summarizing and presenting complex meteorological data. We are all familiar with the colourful weather maps on the TV news and on the newspaper back page, with their isobars and little symbols of snow flakes, raindrops and lightning bolts. Are there equivalent weather maps for the Net?
