yes, good idea!
I'll try to have a look at it.


I just send documentation for vxlan l3 routing. (inter vxlan only, I'll send external router config next week)

Honestly, I would like to have a text representation for those 
network graphics. I tried to use graphviz (dot), and results looks 
quite promising so far. I attached a file for testing. You can 
generate the svg using: 

# dot filename.dot -T svg -o filename.svg 

What do you think about such approach? Should be even possible to 
automatically translate /etc/network/interfaces into such graphic ;-)
