NApp that finds network paths
pathfinder
is responsible for creating a graph with
the latest network topology and providing rest endpoint to calculate the best
path between two devices. In the network, each device is a host or a switch and
each link is a connection between two devices. In the graph, each device
represents a node and each link represents an edge between two nodes.
The NApp learns custom properties from the topology, being able to define the best paths based on a weighted parameter. Please see the Rest API documentation for details.

- Keep track of the current network graph to find constrained paths
- Web UI
