MANBo Project: Visually Dissecting the Bologna Metropolitan Area Network through Graphs

The work discussed in this paper stems from a particular need that recently arise in our company. In order to better exploit the fiber optics network in terms of resource allocation in the Bologna city Metropolitan Area Network, a new tool is required. The aim of this tool is to visualize and understand the municipality fiber optics allocation in order to take informed decisions about how and where to use them and/or to eventually plan infrastructure updates when no resources are left or are not sufficient. We describe the design and implementation of the very first prototype of our tool aiming to tackle this need.
