Fractals on IPv6 Network Topology

The coarse-grained renormalization and the fractal analysis of the Internet macroscopic topology can help people better understand the relationship between the part and whole of the Internet, and it is significant for people to understand the essence of the research object through a small amount of information. Aiming at the complexity of Internet IPv6 IP-level topology, we put forward a method of corethreshold coarse-grained to renormalize its topology. By analyzing the degree distribution and degree correlation characteristics in each k-core network topology, the scale invariance of the networks of coarsegrained renormalization was illustrated. The fractal dimension of Internet IPv6 IP-level topology was further computed which shows that the Internet IPv6 IP-level topology has got fractals.
