networksshape
Networksshape is a conceptual framework for representing computer networks as geometric shapes that encode both topology and resource allocation. It treats network elements as spatial objects, allowing planners to visualize how physical layout, routing decisions, and service placement influence performance, fault domains, and scalability.
Its core model maps network nodes to coordinates in a geometry space and represents links as connections
The framework relies on a data schema that supports node and link properties, coordinates, and shapes, with
Typical applications include data center layout optimization, campus or metro area network planning, and disaster recovery
Critics note that geometric representations can oversimplify dynamic network behavior and traffic patterns. Proponents view networksshape
