WWW Expected P(k) ~ k- Found World Wide Web Nodes: WWW documents Links: URL links Over 10 billion documents Exponential Network ROBOT:collects all URL’s found in a document and follows them recursively Scale-free Network R. Albert, H. Jeong, A-L Barabási, Nature, 401 130 (1999).
Internet INTERNET BACKBONE Nodes: computers, routers Links: physical lines (Faloutsos, Faloutsos and Faloutsos, 1999)
Origin of SF networks: Growth and preferential attachment BA model (1) Networks continuously expand by the addition of new nodes WWW : addition of new documents (2) New nodes prefer to link to highly connected nodes. WWW : linking to well known sites P(k) ~k-3 GROWTH: add a new node with m links PREFERENTIAL ATTACHMENT:the probability that a node connects to a node with k links is proportional to k.
