Net-Topo-Drawer

Net-Topo-Drawer is a two-person project designed to automatically display network topology. The project consists of two main components: a crawler that collects network data with the use of LLDP protocol and a graphical interface that automatically draws the network topology based on the information from the crawler. The application was tested in GNS3 environment only.
