3Network Models
Network topological analysis network topology is the arrangement of the various elements (links, nodes etc.). Essentially, it is the topological structure of a network. It looks at how to model the topology of large-scale networks, what the organizing principles underlying their topology are and how the topologies of a network affect its robustness against errors and attacks.
Concepts such as degree of distribution, small average distance, large clustering coefficient and strongly connected components have been described in the previous chapter of this book. With this chapter, we aim to discuss various networking models such as the random graph model, small-world model and scale-free model. But ...
