Overview
WARNING: As previously announced on our communication channels, the Kytos project will enter the "shutdown" phase on May 31, 2021. After this date, only critical patches (security and core bug fixes) will be accepted, and the project will be in "critical-only" mode for another six months (until November 30, 2021). For more information visit the FAQ at <https://kytos.io/faq>. We'll have eternal gratitude to the entire community of developers and users that made the project so far.
Attention!

The NApp kytos/pathfinder is a NApp 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 parmeter. Please see the Rest API documentation for details.
