- Refactor into submodules
- Implement link highlighting - (hover over link to see port numbers)
Device View
- Providing tabular view of device information
Provide utility to creating re-usable toolbar widget

- An alternative to keystroke commands
Subnet Sprites (supports Segment Routing Demo)
- Cloud elements that can be sized/positioned on the view

  - for example, routers with multiple interfaces
Central Office (supports CORD Demo)
- (details TBD)

User Login and User Preferences
