There are few studies that look closely at how the topology of the Internet evolves over time; most focus on snapshots taken at a particular point in time. In this paper, we investigate the evolution of the topology of the Autonomous…

The structure of the Internet at the Autonomous System (AS) level has been studied by both the Physics and Computer Science communities. We extend this work to include features of the core and the periphery, taking a radial perspective on…

We study the large-scale topological and dynamical properties of real Internet maps at the autonomous system level, collected in a three years time interval. We find that the connectivity structure of the Internet presents average…

The Internet is constantly changing, and its hierarchy was recently shown to become flatter. Recent studies of inter-domain traffic showed that large content providers drive this change by bypassing tier-1 networks and reaching closer to…

We present here a study of the clustering and cycles in the graph of Internet at the Autonomous Systems level. We show that,even if the whole structure is changing with time, the statistical distributions of loops of order 3,4,5 remain…

The evolution of the Internet during the last years, has lead to a dramatic increase of the size of its graph at the Autonomous System (AS) level. Soon - if not already - its size will make the latter impractical for use from the research…

As the Internet AS-level topology grows over time, some of its structural properties remain unchanged. Such time- invariant properties are generally interesting, because they tend to reflect some fundamental processes or constraints behind…

The description of the Internet topology is an important open problem, recently tackled with the introduction of scale-free networks. In this paper we focus on the topological and dynamical properties of real Internet maps in a three years…

Researchers have proposed a variety of Internet topology models. However almost all of them focus on generating one graph based on one single static source graph. On the other hand, Internet topology is evolving over time continuously with…

We present here a study of the clustering and cycles present in the graph of Internet at the Autonomous Systems level. Even if the whole structure is changing with time, we present some evidence that the statistical distributions of cycles…

Inter-domain routing is a crucial part of the Internet designed for arbitrary policies, economical models, and topologies. This versatility translates into a substantially complex system that is hard to comprehend. Monitoring the…

During the last three decades the Internet has experienced fascinating evolution, both exponential growth in traffic and rapid expansion in topology. The size of the Internet becomes enormous, yet the network is very `small' in the sense…

We consider the $k$-core decomposition of network models and Internet graphs at the autonomous system (AS) level. The $k$-core analysis allows to characterize networks beyond the degree distribution and uncover structural properties and…

The Internet is composed of routing devices connected between them and organized into independent administrative entities: the Autonomous Systems. The existence of different types of Autonomous Systems (like large connectivity providers,…

Over the past decade, IXPs have been playing a key role in enabling interdomain connectivity. Their traffic volumes have grown dramatically and their physical presence has spread throughout the world. While the relevance of IXPs is…

Research on the robustness of the Internet has gained critical importance in the last decades because more and more individuals, societies and firms rely on this global network infrastructure for communication, knowledge transfer, business…

While the statistical and resilience properties of the Internet are no more changing significantly across time, the Darknet, a network devoted to keep anonymous its traffic, still experiences rapid changes to improve the security of its…

We study structural feature and evolution of the Internet at the autonomous systems level. Extracting relevant parameters for the growth dynamics of the Internet topology, we construct a toy model for the Internet evolution, which includes…

The development of veracious models of the Internet topology has received a lot of attention in the last few years. Many proposed models are based on topologies derived from RouteViews BGP table dumps (BTDs). However, BTDs do not capture…

The topological structure of complex networks has fascinated researchers for several decades, resulting in the discovery of many universal properties and reoccurring characteristics of different kinds of networks. However, much less is…
