'''Network mapping''' is the study of the physical connectivity of networks e.g. the [[Internet]]. 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.
