+title: More Fun With Graphs
+---
+I figured I'd post the latest graph magic from my work at Nucor-Yamato Steel.
+This is a graph of the entire network, switches AND hosts!
+---
+[![NYS Network Graph](/media/img/more_fun_with_graphs/nys-super-sanitized-thumb.png)](/media/img/more_fun_with_graphs/nys-super-sanitized.png)
+<p class="centered">(click for full-sized version, warning: LARGE image)</p>
+
+Here, the yellow boxes are center switches/routers, the green boxes are switches,
+and the peach-colored nodes are hosts. Also, red lines are switch-to-switch
+connections and blue lines are switch-to-host connections.
+
+Another somewhat off-topic thing about these graphs is that the manager of IT at
+Nucor-Yamato is interested in open-sourcing the code that manages all of the data
+and generates these graphs, AND let me use company time to work on and manage the
+project. If anyone knows of any open-source project (or software that doesn't cost
+an arm and a leg) that already does network discovery, data collection, and automated
+mapping then please let me know! If I'm not going to be re-inventing the wheel, then
+I'll probably be kicking the project off shortly after I start working full-time in
+June 2010.
