Since the beginning of the nineties, the internet has undergone impressive growth. This
growth can be appreciated in terms of the equipment, such as routers and links, that has …

Accurate measurement, inference and modeling techniques are fundamental to Internet
topology research. Spatial analysis of the Internet is needed to develop network planning …

We present the Crossfire attack--a powerful attack that degrades and often cuts off network
connections to a variety of selected server targets (eg, servers of an enterprise, a city, a …

We study a map of the Internet (at the autonomous systems level), by introducing and using
the method of k-shell decomposition and the methods of percolation theory and fractal …

Business relationships between ASes in the Internet are typically confidential, yet
knowledge of them is essential to understand many aspects of Internet structure …

We show that the Internet topology at the autonomous system (AS) level has a rich-club
phenomenon. The rich nodes, which are a small number of nodes with large numbers of …

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) allows an autonomous system (AS) to apply diverse
local policies for selecting routes and propagating reachability information to other domains …

The use of peer-to-peer (P2P) applications is growing dramaticaliy, particularly for sharing
large video/audio files and software. In this paper, we analyze P2P traffic by measuring flow …

As the Internet's de facto interdomain routing protocol, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is
the glue that holds the disparate parts of the Internet together. A major limitation of BGP is its …

Simulating the BGP routing system of Internet is crucial to the analysis of Internet backbone
network routing behavior, locating network failure and, evaluating network performance for …
