Has anyone ever produced a poster-sized flowchart documenting how
the various modules used by PF interact with each other, switches,
clients, etc?  Something along the lines of what Microsoft provides
for their enterprise apps like Exchange or Lync:

The biggest barrier to entry with PF is knowing where to start, and
anyone who has been a member of this list for a few months or longer
can see all of the questions from potential deployment sites that don't
have the "big picture" of how everything interacts, where/how it should
be deployed in an existing network, and whether or not they should
deploy inline versus VLAN switching.  

I have never stumbled across something like this for PF, and was just
thinking that a simple poster explaining how everything interacts
would be useful to help people troubleshoot...and as a planning tool
to drive further adoption from those who are overwhelmed by the
different options available and give up because they think that PF
is too complex to implement without consulting help...
