Netwok flow diagram with nwdiag

Question

Hello, 

First I would like to congratualte you for the development of nwdiag module which is perfect to draw infrastructure network diagram. 

However I am still lokking for a tool to produce network flows diagram between components or server. Please below find a perfect example from the VMware documentation. 

Horizon 7 Network Ports 2 - Internal Connection Showing All Display Protocols.png (13725×9588) (vmware.com)

It does not seems possible to draw such diagram with nwdiag, does it ?

Regards,

I would advise to use a component diagram or a deployment diagram for what you are showing, it would be easier and more appropriate.

I may come back later with an example.

I think you can contemplate using the deployment diagram in the following way : https://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/JP5HSeKW34N_xoeoRg1RU5k942tp46o0cRxTDmWw_JddGfGOUPNAMjiHmQw6d6YehxBInP6_Q1bUmBkaIXTXBuVD2dG7hBabp_gXEy2nUkg02-gYq11SpCqAdN0vHhbQ5_gNRVyuS-hzdcHxgMgED0tFbLSkGdU0FHNgXuQm1UlPWIr7Bqf3s9GFAtJYMtvvj_6d4L8LjNc4deJ8gqIwY9IzK0TETc_x5pIDKxJOGKCuDJifXQRnqwG9NOJQa9ns-xWdmQx3lUcYvQpzv6cq8gwFENslxMRkjE0boVVR_0C0

Looks like there is an error on your link,

Below an example I have done with your advice. Pretty cool ! Could be interesting to document it as a use case.
