Formal analysis of weighted longitudinal routers network via scale-free network: a case study

The process of identifying the central nodes in complex networks research has remained interesting and very important issue for network analysis. The identification of main nodes in the network can lead to many answers for the solution of security and other problems depending on the type of comple...

description	The process of identifying the central nodes in complex networks research has remained interesting and very important issue for network analysis. The identification of main nodes in the network can lead to many answers for the solution of security and other problems depending on the type of complex networks under analysis. Different topological metrics of the network can be used to locate the major nodes in the network but the degree and betweenness (Load) centralities perform very important role in evolution and communication of nodes in growing networks. Unfortunately, these metrics have been analyzed in different complex systems mainly either on the bases of the number of links to nodes in the network or with much focused from the perspective of weights of links. Therefore, locating the main nodes in the network not only depends on links but majorly on weight of links. Routers network of the internet is an example of scale-free nature which follow power-law distribution and causes inhomogeneous structure with some nodes with large number of links while many with a few.
