A SERN is a natural generalisation of a random network, taking into account that many physical networks are embedded in space, and longer links are more costly, and hence less likely.
We’ve been doing some work on SERNs for a little while. Here’s a few relevant links.
The Topology Zoo is a project to collect data network topologies from around the world. The old web page at http://www.topology-zoo.org/ is be deprecated, so much better to look at either the raw GitHub, or FigShare.
A Traffic Matrix – a matrix giving the traffic volumes between origin and destination in a network – has tremendously potential utility for IP network capacity planning and management.
The Combined Optimization and Layered Design (COLD) Algorithm is used to synthesise data network topologies.
It uses a Genetic Algorithm to optimise the PoP-level structure of a network, then uses Generalised Graph Products to synthesise a router level network.
AutoNetkit: Automated Network Configuration: Construct your network from a topology diagram, add protocols, automatically allocate IP addresses, and generate configuration files with templates. Deploy to emulated networks and measure the results, with live visual feedback of design and measurement steps. Go to the AutoNetkit page for more details.
SAIL, short for Statistically Accurate Internet Loss Measurements, is a method for rigorous statistical analysis of packet-loss measurements. It uses algorithms from Hidden Semi-Markov Models to estimate the parameters of the underlying loss process from measurement traces, then computes the loss rate and its variance.
The method is designed to be light-weight: the main algorithms run in linear time in the number of measurement samples. This page collects the SAIL MATLAB implementation, usage notes, sample-data information, and related papers.
