I should preface this by telling you that I work for a large telecom company which, for the sake of this post, shall be known as Company A. I work as part of the lab that does the DSL CPE and DSLAM regression testing. One day, we found out that we were getting a visit from another large telecom company, which we shall call Company B. On top of that, Company B was sending Dr.ImportantPresidentGuy to visit us, led by Company A's Mr. BigShotDirrector and Prof. EnglishAccentVP. So, Mr. Manager decides that we need to have a high level diagram of the lab network to show to Dr. ImportantPresidentGuy when he visits. Now, our lab network is set up exactly like the field network to test the equipment in as real an evironment as possible. This means that every sub-architecture that exists in the field exists in our lab. This is not an easy thing of which to make a "high level" diagram. So, after standing around scratching our collective heads for awhile we finally came up with the *perfect* way to explain our lab network to upper management.
Enjoy.
