Evolution of IPv6 Internet topology with unusual sudden changes

The evolution of Internet topology is not always smooth but sometimes with unusual sudden changes. Consequently, identifying patterns of unusual topology evolution is critical for Internet topology modeling and simulation. We analyze IPv6 Internet topology evolution in IP-level graph to demonstrate how it changes in uncommon ways to restructure the Internet. After evaluating the changes of average degree, average path length, and some other metrics over time, we find that in the case of a large-scale growing the Internet becomes more robust; whereas in a top–bottom connection enhancement the Internet maintains its efficiency with links largely decreased.

Evolution of the Internet AS-level topology:From nodes and edges to components

Studying the topology of infrastructure communication networks(e.g., the Internet) has become a means to understand and develop complex systems. Therefore, investigating the evolution of Internet network topology might elucidate disciplines governing the dynamic process of complex systems. It may also contribute to a more intelligent communication network framework based on its autonomous behavior. In this paper, the Internet Autonomous Systems(ASes) topology from 1998 to 2013 was studied by deconstructing and analysing topological entities on three different scales(i.e., nodes,edges and 3 network components: single-edge component M1, binary component M2 and triangle component M3). The results indicate that: a) 95% of the Internet edges are internal edges(as opposed to external and boundary edges); b) the Internet network consists mainly of internal components, particularly M2 internal components; c) in most cases, a node initially connects with multiple nodes to form an M2 component to take part in the network; d) the Internet network evolves to lower entropy. Furthermore, we find that, as a complex system, the evolution of the Internet exhibits a behavioral series,which is similar to the biological phenomena concerned with the study on metabolism and replication. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of the evolution of the Internet network through analysis of dynamic features of its nodes,edges and components, and therefore our study represents an innovative approach to the subject.

Degree and connectivity of the Internet's scale-free topology

This paper theoretically and empirically studies the degree and connectivity of the Internet＇s scale-free topology at an autonomous system （AS） level. The basic features of scale-free networks influence the normalization constant of degree distribution p（k）. It develops a new mathematic model for describing the power-law relationships of Internet topology. From this model we theoretically obtain formulas to calculate the average degree, the ratios of the kmin-degree （minimum degree） nodes and the kmax-degree （maximum degree） nodes, and the fraction of the degrees （or links） in the hands of the richer （top best-connected） nodes. It finds that the average degree is larger for a smaller power-law exponent A and a larger minimum or maximum degree. The ratio of the kmin-degree nodes is larger for larger λ and smaller kmin or kmax. The ratio of the kmax-degree ones is larger for smaller λ and kmax or larger kmin. The richer nodes hold most of the total degrees of Internet AS-level topology. In addition, it is revealed that the increased rate of the average degree or the ratio of the kmin-degree nodes has power-law decay with the increase of kmin. The ratio of the kmax-degree nodes has a power-law decay with the increase of kmax, and the fraction of the degrees in the hands of the richer 27% nodes is about 73% （the 73/27 rule＇）. Finally, empirically calculations are made, based on the empirical data extracted from the Border Gateway Protocol, of the average degree, ratio and fraction using this method and other methods, and find that this method is rigorous and effective for Internet AS-level topology.

Deductive way of reasoning about the internet AS level topology

Our current understanding about the AS level topology of the Internet is based on measurements and inductive-type models which set up rules describing the behavior （node and edge dynamics） of the individual ASes and generalize the consequences of these individual actions for the complete AS ecosystem using induction. In this paper we suggest a third, deductive approach in which we have premises for the whole AS system and the consequences of these premises are determined through deductive reasoning. We show that such a deductive approach can give complementary insights into the topological properties of the AS graph. While inductive models can mostly reflect high level statistics （e.g., degree distribution, clustering, diameter）, deductive reasoning can identify omnipresent subgraphs and peering likelihood. We also propose a model, called YEAS, incorporating our deductive analytical findings that produces topologies contain both traditional and novel metrics for the AS level Internet.

Analyzing the Structure and Connectivity ofContinent-Level Internet Topology

The research and analysis of Internet topology is hot in the field of networkmeasurement, which have important applications in network security, traffic schedulingand many other fields. Most of the existing works are focused on the AS-level and routerleveltopology, but few works are about the IP-level topology. In fact, obtaining thetopology of each continent and knowing how the topologies of the continents areconnected to each other can help us understanding the Internet around the world morethoroughly. In this paper, we obtained data sets from RIPE, constructed and analyzednetwork topologies of all the continents. By analyzing the topological connectionsbetween continents, we found out that most of the junctions of inter-continent traces arelocated in a few countries.

Modeling and Mutation Evolution of IPv6 IP-Level Network Topology

In order to understand IPv6 topology characteristics and dynamic behaviors deeply, and guide the design of IPv6 Internet structure, an Internet IP level topology evolution model (IP-TEM) based on power-law distribution was established. Selected the data of IPv6 IP-level topology from CAIDA Internet Global Research Institute in the year from 2012 to 2016 to analyze the evolution characteristics of IPv6 during the probing period, and then introduced to the characteristic outlier weight to locate the mutation time point to analyze the network topology mutation evolution, it is concluded that the evolution trend of other characteristics and the mutation points of each characteristic outlier weight are basically the same except for the average clustering coefficient. Then simulated the normal evolution and mutation evolution of the network respectively using IP-TEM, the simulation results show that IP-TEM can simulate the normal evolution and partial mutation evolution of the real network.
