A self-organization Internet topology model based on message transfer

On reviewing the local-world evolving network model, this paper proposes a self-organization Internet topology model based on message transfer in terms of the statistical characteristic and forming mechanism of Internet. This topology model simulates the growth of the whole Internet dynamically: some isolated nodes which are randomly distributed on a plain building connections by sending messages to each other; each node decides how to build connection according to the message it received, in order to form a self-organized hierarchical Internet topology from bottom to top. Simulation results show that the topology produced by this model can accurately reflect the realistic Internet topology on degree distribution, clustering coefficient and so on.
