Drawing network diagrams?

[Andy Bair]

I have used Dia quite a bit in the past and I would recommend it for
diagrams that you build "manually".  If you have some scripting
knowledge and want to generate your graph in "automatically" you should
consider graphviz.  It takes some getting used to but can produce
powerful graphs.  (For example, you could parse ping-sweep data to
automatically generate a network diagram.)
