The softwares currently supported are:

VPNs:

- OpenVPN
- Wireguard

Format:

- NetJSON NetworkGraph

Dynamic routing demons:

- OLSRd
- Batman-advanced
- other less known routing deamons and formats

It is also possible to write a parser to supply the data to the collector
in NetJSON NetworkGraph format.

The main question is: what kind of networking technology are you using and
how does your topology look?
Is it a LAN network, an OSPF network, etc.

The topology module was built mainly to show topologies of wireless
networks, these networks are usually deployed using routing protocol
software which are able to collect the topology information.
But the same concept can be adapted to other situations.
