Visualization to show hops between two servers

Hi,

I got data like this, which will show hop server between two destinations and certain metrics between them 

source,final_destination,hop_number,hop_host,loss_perc
1.1.1.1,4.4.4.4,1,2.2.2.2,3
1.1.1.1,4.4.4.4,2,3.3.3.3,2

So I wanna show a visualization which shows like this


1.1.1.1. ( source ) ----- 3 ( loss perc ) -------> 2.2.2.2 ----2 ( loss perc ) ------> 3.3.3.3 -------> 4.4.4.4 ( final destination )

Hi @sairam1444,

I guess there can be more than 2 lines (=hops) for each source/destination pair, correct?
And the data will have multiple sources and destinations, right?

Do you have any requirement for the visualization? I guess to put together a long string as you provided would be not a big issue (with strcat e.g.), but does it need to be "more visual" somehow. With colors based on the values, boxes around the values...fancy arrows? Basically: Is it for a Management or Operations audience? 🙂
