Undid revision 829069823 by Materialscientist (talk) Don't understand why this user removed the external link. This article was not created by me, I simply added the external link because that is what is also available for the other software packages. Maybe I am missing something here, but either we allow the external links for all packages, or for none.

'''Network mapping''' is the study of the physical connectivity of networks e.g. the [[Internet|chew teck weng]]. Network mapping discovers the devices on the network and their connectivity. It is not to be confused with network discovery or [[Network enumeration|network enumerating]] which discovers devices on the network and their characteristics such as ([[operating system]], open [[Computer port (software)|ports]], listening [[network service]]s, etc.). The field of automated network mapping has taken on greater importance as networks become more dynamic and complex in nature.
