Network Diagram Tool

The tool models IT network topology as a graph with nodes and edges. Users supply structured inputs for device type, IP addressing, roles, and link properties such as bandwidth and latency. It supports multiple layout algorithms to visualize topology without manual drawing, and it validates reference integrity to prevent broken diagrams during design and documentation workflows.
At runtime, the tool builds an internal graph and applies a chosen layout algorithm; centrality measures can highlight critical devices; edges can carry metadata; positions are computed to minimize overlap and preserve hierarchy when requested.
Beneficiaries include network engineers, IT architects, and MSPs who require accurate topology documentation, change impact analysis, and auditable export artifacts. Unique value comes from integrated validation, modular data import, and export-ready formats that fit into existing management ecosystems. Core features include input schemas for devices and links, layout engines (force-directed, hierarchical, grid), automated validation, and export in SVG/PNG/JSON. Use cases span data center redesign, WAN mapping, new site rollout, and lifecycle inventory planning.
