JavaScript library for dynamic network visualization?

What is a good JavaScript library for the visualization of time-evolving/dynamic graphs/networks?

My data is in the form of source -> destination at time triples like the following

A -> B at 100

B -> C at 101

A -> D at 104

C -> D at 105

...

On the screen I would like to see an animation of points connected by edges with edges flickering on and off as time evolves.

I'm also happy to contribute to an open source library that is almost there.

Clarifications:

By graph I mean a set of nodes connected by a set of edges, not a plot

This question is related to (but distinct from) the following question: Graph visualization library in JavaScript

I've worked with Sigma.js, which is an open source library exactly for the purpose of drawing network graphs. It's Canvas based, so faster than SVG especially for large networks, but dynamic manipulation of nodes/edges is not as straightforward. One nice feature is you can render Gexf files, created with Gephi or other tools, with very little effort.
