Network mapping

Network mapping is the study of the physical connectivity of the Internet. Network mapping discovers the devices on the network and their connectivity. 
The field of automated network mapping has taken more importance. This is because networks become more dynamic and complex in nature.
Recent efforts to map the internet have been improved by more sophisticated methods. It allows them to make faster and more sensible maps. 
The sizing and layout of the autonomous systems was calculated based on their centrality. It is a measure of how central to the network each autonomous system is.
Many organizations create network maps of their network system. These maps can be made manually using simple tools such as Microsoft Visio. The mapping process can be simplified by using tools that integrate auto network discovery with Network mapping. One such example being the Fabric platform. Many of the vendors from the Notable network mappers list enable you to customize the maps. It also include your own labels, add un-discoverable items and background images.
