Collection and visualisation of the information collected from the network functions is a crucial component of the network operation. This repository contains a demo consisting of two components:

• SSH client written leveraging the coroutine and AsyncIO framework. The intention is to optimise the performance of the network management application in a way more efficient to threading and much more efficient that a linear code.
• Construction of the network graph and its visualisation into an interactive webpage.

Created and tested in Python 3.7

• asyncio
• asyncssh
• pyvis
• networkx
• pyyaml

• Cumulus Linux {'nos': 'cumulus'}

• Arista EOS
• Nokia SRL
• Microsoft Azure SONiC
• Nokia SR OS
• Cisco IOS XR

1. Install the modules from requirements.txt using pip.
2. Modify the inventory.yaml file inside the inventory directory per your topology.
3. Execute the script as ./main.py.
4. Open in the output directory file network.html to watch your topology based on LLDP.
