because its two totally different data sources... we should not put
them into the same object without a good machine readable way to see
whats going on.

automatic processing is hell if you don't know what data you process.

maybe we could add a "type" flag to the header of the NetworkGraph
object that can be "link" or "node"...

link data is link/interface specific, node data just cares about
connections between nodes.

What do you think?
