Re: Ideas for graphics output

[kx <kxmail () gmail com>]

While nmap has traditionally been focused on mapping the endpoint,
with the new traceroute functionality, it would be valuable to see
efforts on that aspect as well.

I would just like to second Dirk's request to look at how scapy does
traceroute output with graphviz
