The Internet topology at the Autonomous Systems level (AS graph) has a power– law degree distribution and a tier structure. In this paper, we introduce the Interactive Growth (IG) model based on the joint growth of new nodes and new links. This simple and dynamic model compares favorable with other Internet power–law topology generators because it not only closely resembles the degree distribut...
