Suggestions for text-based network topology framework
Looking for something that:
- Is easy to create/maintain (like markdown)
- Can be easily understood in text form
- Easily versioned (text is)
- Mostly concerned with logical topology elements and their interactions
- (Optional) Can be updated from network mapping software
- (Optional) Can be easily converted to graphics

No integration (that I see) with network mapping software.
