PARCHER (Packet oRder and CHaos in Ensemble Routing) is a project studying models of global traffic dynamics. This project provides a real-time traffic simulator that uses the OpenGL API to render the geographic location of routers and their links. The visualization enables the user to see how packet queues are built dinamically depending on the amount of incoming traffic.
