چکیده

Considering a preferential selection mechanism of load destination, we introduce a new method to quantify initial load distribution and subsequently construct a simple cascading model. By attacking the node with the highest load, we investigate the cascading dynamics in some synthetic networks. Surprisingly, we observe that for several networks of different structural patterns, a counterintuitive phenomenon emerges if the highest load attack is applied to the system, i.e., investing more resources to protect every node in a network inversely makes the whole network more vulnerable. We explain this ability paradox by analyzing the micro-structural components of the underlying network and therefore reveals how specific structural patterns may influence the cascading dynamics. We discover that the robustness of the network oscillates as the capacity of each node increases. The conclusion of the paper may shed lights on future investigations to avoid the demonstrated ability paradox and subsequent cascading failures in real-world networks.

Ability paradox of cascading model based on betweenness

Must Investing more resources to protect every node in a network improve the robustness of the whole network subject to target attacks? To answer this question, we investigate the cascading dynamics in some typical networks. In real networks, the load on a node is generally correlated with the betweenness. Considering the weight of a node, we give a new method to define the initial load on a no...

Cascading failure spreading on weighted heterogeneous networks

We study the onset and spreading of cascading failure on weighted heterogeneous networks by adopting a local weighted flow redistribution rule, where the weight and tolerance of a node is correlated with its link degree k as k and Ck, respectively. The weight parameter θ and tolerance parameter C are positive: θ > 0 and C > 1.0. Assume that a failed node leads only to a redistribution of flow p...

Abnormal cascading on complex networks.

In the study of cascading failures on complex networks, a key issue is to define capacities of edges and nodes as realistically as possible. This leads to the consideration of intrinsic edge capacity associated with laws governing flows on networks, which goes beyond the existing definitions of capacity based on the initial load as quantified by the betweenness centrality. Limited edge capacity...

بهبود پروتکل AODV جهت مقابله با حملات کرم‌چاله در شبکه‌های اقتضایی

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) are vulnerable to both active and passive attacks. The wormhole attack is one of the most severe security attacks in wireless ad hoc networks, an attack that can be mounted on a wide range of wireless network protocols without compromising any cryptographic quantity or network node.  In Wormhole attacks, one malicious node tunnels packets from its location to the ...
