Network researchers and operators often turn to emulation and simulation for testing and experimentation. Obtaining topologies that reflect the graph characteristics of the Internet, while of small enough order to emulate or simulate on commodity hardware, however, is a difficult undertaking. In this work, we reexamine a previous study devoted to generating Internet-like topologies by reducing ...
