My Elevator Pitch

I'm working on modeling the Internet topology. The Internet consists of thousands of interconnected Autonomous Systems. The connectivity structure of these systems determines the overall performance of the Internet.

However, there is no direct way of knowing such structure due to the distributed nature of the Internet. Therefore, indirect measurement and mathematical modeling of the Internet topology become very important for traffic engineering and network optimization. My work is to design a proper model that can track the evolution of the structure.
