"Now seems like a decent time to talk about a bit of UI2 I'm finding really exciting to work on: the circuit page. 

This is the page you get to when you click on an active circuit, you can get there lots of ways, fast search, shaped devices list, top N lists, etc., I'm trying to take it from a science experiment to an actionable, useful page for support people.

It's not at all complete - the various tins graphs, site location graphs and things will be back. This is very much a work in progress."

^^What are we seeing here? At the top:

- We lead in with who you're looking at. 

- The, blurred out, circuit name, the parent node, which will take you to the tree position, speed limits.

- Then a gauge for current - at this second - utilization.

- Then a Total Circuit Throughput graph, showing all devices in this circuit's combined usage over time. 

- Then a graph showing TCP retransmits from all devices.

Going down to the tabs (which will re-add the science experiment stuff!):

-The devices tab shows you each device in the circuit. We lead off with the MAC, because it's uniquely identifiable, or should be!

- If you have a comment, we show it.

- We list all your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If its not a network address, a background pinger sends 1 ping per second to each item. It gets a red mark if it never replies, a check mark if it does - and we show ping loss and ICMP time. These are colorized - I picked a lossy circuit to ensure you could see it.

- We show you "last seen" - when did the shaper last see some traffic? So now you have a 2nd chance to see if they are offline.

- We show you throughput as a bar, covering circuit range, no bar just a number if there's no limit, dividing by zero sucks.

- Up and down are separated.

- RTT readings are shown as a colorized bar, too.

- We show you current, this second, retransmit scores.

- Then to the right we graph throughput by just the device, TCP retransmits by just the device, and a histogram of the ping times we're accumulating while you watch.

The "Active Flows" tab gives you a count of data flows in the last second, and plots them in the Sankey graph above.

There's obviously a crapload more to come. Wanted to share some progress."

"Likewise, if you navigate the tree - you see real time data. You can expand, click to view just a single segment. Notice that we have retransmits, Cake marks/drops in there now!"

"Likewise, clients attached to each tree node are rendered with real-time data, sorry for the lack of data, I'm only testing on a tiny portion of the network":

"Lastly, the dashboard. It defaults to a pretty minimal view, but you can click the pencil at any time to add/remove/rearrange the dashboard widgets - from an ever growing selection. Some are more useful than others, some mostly serve to attract the attention of passers-by. 

Here's a crazy zoomed out version with just about everything live updating":

"And there are some with which we were just having fun, such as the RTT histogram with time as a 3rd axis/dimension":

All the best,
