Create parallel link plus LACP symbol

Question

Hi,

I want to create three parallel link between R1 and R2.

Then all three link will be circled with elliptical shape as a symbol for LACP.

My Problem :

1. Elliptical symbol will break the lines. Between R1<> R2 might not straight line again, because they will route between R1 - elliptical shape - next elliptical shape - R2.

2. How to create 3 parallel link ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, yEd does not support decorations for a set of links (or rather edges in graph terminology). The best you can do is to simulate a link aggregation by creating an unconnected elliptical node with transparent/no fill color and move that unconnected ellipse over the edges you want to mark as aggregated:

Sample GraphML

You can use "Tools" -> Route Parallel Edges" to create parallel edge paths for multiple edges between the same source and target node(s).
