End-to-end loss probabilities in different internet-like networks with a given average hop count
M. Longo, F. Postiglione · 2007
Abstract:- Realistic networks generators are necessary for simulation and performance evaluation of data communication systems. Such an aspect has driven the collection and the analysis of data on the Internet large-scale structure. The evidence of a power-law behavior of real networks has stimulated the introduction of new procedures to generate Internet-like topologies. Assuming a simple loss model for the links, this paper analyses how the prediction of the loss probabilities during communications obtained by simulation can be influenced by the adoption of a specific topological model for the Internet graph (here, the Waxman or the Barabási-Albert model), given a average node distance in terms of hops.
