Skitter Internet AS Topology
A Internet router-level topology (CAIDA Skitter project) dataset of 1,696,415 nodes and 11,095,298 edges, collected by CAIDA Skitter project via traceroute. Each record contains directed: False, weighted: False. Large internet router topology from the CAIDA Skitter project — 1.7M nodes and 11M edges.. Suitable for internet topology analysis, network robustness, scale-free network research.
