Techniques and architecture are described that provide a multi-platform tool focused on displaying various levels of a topology of a network to a user while maintaining an original context of the user that was initially selected. Elements within the topology are dynamically added or removed from the user's view, e.g., the display, as the elements come in and out of focus. For example, in configurations, as the user traverses the topology, e.g., graph, the nodes that are not of interest generally become invisible. Thus, the user receives a clear view of how the selected component changed according to the user's actions and may achieve an easily maintained history of the current hops through the network topology.
