The Flattening Internet Topology: Natural Evolution, Unsightly Barnacles or Contrived Collapse?

چکیده
In this paper we collect and analyze traceroute measurements to show that large content providers (e.g., Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!) are deploying their own wide-area networks, bringing their networks closer to users, and bypassing Tier-1 ISPs on many paths. This trend, should it continue and be adopted by more content providers, could flatten the Internet topology, and may result in numerous other consequences to users, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content providers, and network researchers.

Drawing on recent developments in linguistic description and applied linguistics, it can be concluded that learning a language necessitates getting to know something and being able to do something with that knowledge: competence, and performance. Structural approach to language description attaches importance to the former; communicative approach to the latter. Appropriate classroom discours...

Economy and safety are two important components in structural design process and stablishing a balance between them indeed results in improved structural performance specially in large-scale structures including space lattice domes. Topology optimization of geometrically nonlinear single-layer lamella, network, and geodesic lattice domes is implemented using enhanced colliding-bodies optimizati...
متن کاملModeling the Evolution of the Internet Topology: A Multi-Level Evaluation Framework
The topology of a network (connectivity of autonomous systems (ASes) or routers) has significant implications on the design of protocols and applications, and on the placement of services and data centers. Researchers and practitioners alike are in constant need of realistic topologies for their simulation, emulation, and testbed experiments. In this work, we propose a multi-level framework for...
