routerlevel
Routerlevel refers to the representation and analysis of a network topology at the granularity of routers, focusing on inter-router connections rather than hosts or autonomous systems. In a routerlevel graph, each node represents a router and each edge represents a direct link between two routers. This level of abstraction is often used to study the physical or logical pathways that traffic can traverse across a portion of the internet or an enterprise network, and it can differ from AS-level topologies where nodes correspond to autonomous systems.
Construction and data sources for routerlevel topologies typically involve measurements and mapping efforts that identify router
Applications of routerlevel topology analysis include evaluating network resilience and redundancy, identifying critical inter-router links, studying
Limitations of routerlevel analyses include incomplete visibility due to measurement gaps, aliasing errors, rapid changes in
