  • I was going through my Dropbox this morning and found a project that I was working on a while ago but never completed: NetworkTopologyDesigner (NTD). It's an Android Application that provides limited visio like functionality, Pick and place network components, connect em up and export as a PNG (or XML that can be imported on another device). I've cleaned it up, made it build, and put it up on Google Play:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootsecks.ntd

    I figure it might be of some use to people here for mapping out home networks and the like :)

    As it stands it has the following possible icons:

    • Router
    • Switch
    • Firewall
    • Layer 3 Switch
    • Wireless AP
    • Cloud
    • Workstation
    • Laptop
    • Server
    • Mobile Device
    • Head Office
    • Branch Office

    And you can connect them using the following connection types:

    • Ethernet
    • Serial
    • Wireless

    It saves locally in a SQLite DB so you can save and load projects on your device, and you can export projects as either XML (Which means you can transfer them to another device and import them) or PNG. There is no simulation or error checking or anything fancy like that, it just generates diagrams. I'll post the source up on my GitHub account once I get around to figuring out the GIT plugin for Eclipse again :)

    ( I miss the "Post this to the forums" checkbox :( )


  • That's neat :) I'll have to check it out!
