# NetBox Data Flows Plugin

NetBox plugin to document Data Flows between devices and applications.

## Features

* Document data flows between IP addresses, IP ranges and Prefixes documented in NetBox.

* Regroup the data flows into applications and hierarchical groups.

Documenting your data flows can help you design the network architecture, automate your firewall rule definition or reviews, implement security contracts in a software-defined network, or respond to compliance requirements.
