This paper presents a network topology visualization algorithm based on A* algorithm. This algorithm is not only very universally applicable which can improve greatly the speed of operation and save the memory and meet the real-time requirement of network topology visualization, but also solve the problem of loop caused by single topology visualization algorithm, therefore, its preferably suitable for the research on complicated network topology.
