Network Shapes

Introduction

A network diagram is a visual representation of network architecture. It maps out the structure of a network with a variety of different symbols and line connections. It is the ideal way to share the layout of a network because the visual presentation makes it easier for users to understand how items are connected.

A network diagram showcases the flow of information in the network. It uses network symbols to represent communication between various devices and ongoing processes. It also includes many other elements like network segments, traffic flow, and routing protocols to make things clear.
