We (Observium - http://www.observium.org) do some mapping based on cdp/fdp/lldp discovery protocols, but whole network maps tend to be messy because graphviz isn't ideal.
Originally it was a major feature, but it's less important now because the open source mapping tools don't seem to scale or handle networks very well.
