An old (2003) conversation[1] at Merit Network suggests there isn't a
well-defined standard, with a follow-up post pointing to some Cisco
icons[2] that might be handy.

There is also "A Formal Symbology For Network And Incident
Visualisation"[3].  Don't think this one is a "standard", but might be
useful if you require generic representations and/or wish to modify[4]
the icons - say to include a corporate visual theme for website
integration.

"A revolution is coming - a revolution which will be
peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate if we care
enough; successful if we are fortunate enough - but a
revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We
can affect its character, we cannot alter its inevitability."
