| Abstract : | Recent studies have shown that Internet graphs and other network systems follow power-laws. Do artificial network topologies commonly used in network simulation studies obey these power-laws? In this paper we show that current topology generators do not obey all of the power-laws, and we present two new topology generators that do. Finally, we re-evaluate a multicast study to demonstrate the impact of power-law topologies. 1, |
