Abstract

There has been a number of researches carried out on Visualization Technique that applied into Computer Networking including Enterprise Network and Home Network. Many researchers have stated that the way data being displayed in Home Network application is the most important aspects in understanding network data issues concerning Home Network. This paper reviewed the existing research related to Visualization, Home Network and Network Management; intended to (1) identify the visualization techniques that being used in existing Network Management Tools and (2) recommend potential future work that could be conducted in order to archive desirable goals of Home Networking.
