Abstract
| Mapping the Internet is a major challenge for network researchers.
It is the key to building a successful modeling tool able to generate
realistic graphs for use in networking simulations. In this paper
we provide a detailed analysis of the inter-domain topology of
the Internet. The collected data and the resulting analysis began
in November 1997 and cover a period of two and a half years. We
give results concerning major topology properties (nodes and edges
number, average degree and distance, routing policy, etc.) and main
distributions (degree, distance, etc.). We also present many results
about the trees of this network. The evolution of these properties is
reviewed and major trends are highlighted. We propose some empirical
laws that match this current evolution. Four new power-laws
concerning the number of shortest paths between node pairs and the
tree size distribution are provided with their detailed validation.
