Internet Heterogeneity
Generation of representative topologies
- no such thing as a “typical” Internet topology
- link properties are diverse, diverging
- administrative domains don’t provide maps
- Even with a “realistic” topology, how do you:
- model satellite links with varying link latency?
- model route fluctuations without a traffic model?
- model asymmetric links?
- State-of-the-art is still in the stone age.
