Multi-Abstraction-Layer Topology (MALT) Modelling

In the video, the presenter only showed examples of L2 & L3 modelling. This is also confirmed in its paper, which states that

we do not believe it should be extended beyond expressing topology

Multi-Abstraction-Layer Topology (MALT) represents network in a consistent data and structure
