Cheng Zhang, Yanheng Liu, Jian Wang, Minhui Xia · 2009
Modeling Internet topology is necessary for analyzing of network characteristics for the large and even growing network size. For example, the evolution of network structure and node attributes in the network is a key issue for us to understand the network properties and to design appropriate internetworking technology. In this paper, we define ¿favorability degree¿ to quantity the attributes of a node in the network. Then, a new modeling algorithm for Internet router-level topology is proposed by considering the influence of both node static and dynamic properties. By means of simulations and power-law, the presented modeling algorithm is demonstrated to be capable of precisely modeling the Internet router-level topology.
