Figure 15.3 The variation of critical points as the offered traffic increases

in strongly modularized network (circles) and in weakly modularized network

(asterisks).

where

1/ρS shows the total number of packets offered to a network with the number

of nodes S

N/t means the rate of packet increase in a network

Figure 15.3 plots the order parameters as a function of ρ with fixed γ = 0.01 in

strongly modularized (circles) and weakly modularized (asterisks) topologies. The

offered traffic ρ, where the order parameter η becomes non-zero, ...
