road networks based on distance from a point

It's probably some domain knowledge I'm missing but I cannot see a method to generate a network based on a distance (i.e. show me all roads from this point within a distance of 1km).

Is this already available ?

And if not how complex would it be to add ?

BTW: this is similar to GRASS v.net.iso

    I'm not sure if I completely understood, but what you're looking for already exists ... I think.

    Did you have a look at DrivingDistance function? You select a start point and then the distance you want to go on your network (ie. 1km). The function returns a set of rows. There is one row for each crossed edge, and an additional one containing the terminal vertex. Here is a simple demo: http://demo.orkney.jp/routing/phtmls/driving.phtml

    Or what do you expect to be different to that function?
