The Art of Visualising Software Architecture - Coding the ArchitectureStructurizr - create web-based software architecture diagrams using code
open source Structurizr tools @ GitHub (for Java & DotNet)

The tool is using code annotations and reflection to extract structure info from the code,
and then visualize from that information; also suggested GraphViz tool.

Structurizr - Help - The C4 software architecture model
"Structurizr is an implementation of Simon Brown's C4 software architecture model - Context, Containers, Components and Classes (or Code). The C4 model provides a way to easily and effectively communicate the static structure of a software system using a simple hierarchy of building blocks and associated diagrams. It's a way to create maps of your software."

Software Defined Networking @ TechNet

Software-defined networking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Software-defined networking (SDN) is an approach to computer networking that allows network administrators to manage network services through abstraction of higher-level functionality. This is done by decoupling the system that makes decisions about where traffic is sent (the control plane) from the underlying systems that forward traffic to the selected destination (the data plane)."
