RE: generating a network map

["Todd Towles" <toddtowles () brookshires com>]

You could use Etherape with a network discovery tool like Nmap. Etherape
will record the hosts visually via the generated traffic generated by
Nmap, but the topology won't be correct I don't think. Etherape will
detected chatty nodes between each other, but all the nodes discovered
via the Nmap traffic will just make a star map - but I could be wrong.
Worth a try...
