Re: Need help in developing a Tk GUI to represent packet flow ina network

I am not really concerned about the type of traffic. The information
residing with me is:
1. There are 2 devices D1 and D2.
2. D1 sends a packet to D2 at time T1 with certain attributes A1.
3. D2 sends a packet to D1 at time T2 with certain attributes A2.
4. D1 sends a packet to D2 at time T3 with certain attributes A3.
5. D2 sends a packet to D1 at time T4 with certain attributes A4.
and so on.

I need to represent this diagrammatically.

Initially I'll have the images for 2 devies on the canvas (say for
example).
Then, action 2 will somehow be made known to me. At this point of time,
the application should draw a link (packt flow) between D1 and D2.
Then, when action 3 takes place, draw a link between D2 and D1, and so
on.

This application will basically be plugged into another application
that can send and receive packets adhereing to different protocols. The
latter application takes care of send/receive of packets. The client
for this application will use the new application to diagrammatically
represent flow of packets.

Hope this explanation helps.

Is this homework?
