Hilby - Hilbert Interactive Prefix Plots

Effective visualization of the IP address space is important for navigating the scale and complexity of modern network data.
Hilbert curves are a common method to map one-dimensional address spaces into 2D images.
In this talk, we present Hilby, an open-source React framework for rendering interactive Hilbert maps for both IPv4 and IPv6.
Unlike statically rendered images Hilby supports dynamic aggregation and deaggregation of prefixes, allowing users to seamlessly transition between macroscopic overviews and microscopic details in real-time.
By combining this with other features like coloring and text, Hilby can display both fine details and coarse overviews of large amounts of networking data in the same frame without sacrificing performance or user experience.
Hilby focuses on developer experience in allowing the simple integration of a Hilbert curve by abstracting the complexities of the mapping behind a simple API.
We showcase Hilby through real-world use cases in research and operational settings and release a playground environment for experimenting with user-provided data.
