Have a look at cheops-ng 
http://cheops-ng.sourceforge.net/
It's based on nmap and traceroute. Check out the screenshots to be sure that's what you need. 
It's nice and free .. as fas as I know

Hi list,

  I was wondering if there were special ways to discover networks
topologies / mapping networks.  Are there particular tools or methods I
should be aware of ?  The few tools I tried only gave me approximative
results.  However I think nmap + the standard unix tools can do a good
part of the job.

  Moreover, what are the differences between discovering an
organisation's network from the inside, and from the outside ?
I mean, what are the best practices to discover network equipments,
subnets, VPNs, etc?  I know that traceroute can be a good starting
point, but are there some other tools and techniques I should know ?

Regards,
