Abstract: We introduce a parabolic blow-up method to study the asymptotic behavior of an integral Brakke flow of planar networks (i.e. a 1-dimensional integral Brakke flow in a two dimensional region) weakly close in a space-time region to a static multiplicity 1 triple junction $J$. We show that such a network flow is regular in a smaller space-time region, in the sense that it consists of three curves coming smoothly together at a single point at 120 degree angles, staying smoothly close to $J$ and moving smoothly. Using this result and White's stratification theorem, we deduce that whenever an integral Brakke flow of networks in a space-time region $mathcalR$ has no static tangent flow with density $geq2$, there exists a closed subset $SigmasubsetmathcalR$ of parabolic Hausdorff dimension at most 1 such that the flow is classical in $mathcalRsetminusSigma$, i.e. near every point in $mathcalRsetminusSigma$, the flow, if non-empty, consists of either an embedded curve moving smoothly or three embedded curves meeting smoothly at a single point at 120 degree angles and moving smoothly. In particular, such a flow is classical at all times except for a closed set of times of ordinary Hausdorff dimension at most $frac12$.
