Robustness and Security of Router-level Internet and Complex Networks Examples under Hybrid Networks Attacks
Ye Xu, Shen Yang, Zhuo Wang · International Journal of Security and Its Applications · 2016
For a better predicting and analyses of robustness and security properties of some networks examples such as scale-free networks, small-world networks and real-world router-level Internet, models with different topologies and variable loads of the corresponding networks were founded firstly.Then, experiments of hybrid attacks ranging from complete random attacks where attack parameter tao=1 to complete targeted attacks where tao=0 were simulated.Results showed clearly that scale-free networks were robust to random failures and quite fragile to target attacks and the progression of networks fragility seems to have power-law distribution with workload parameter.For the NW small-world networks, attacks types are not so much sensitive to the robustness of the networks.What's found here would be useful for design and implement of some real-world networks.
