Abstract :
One of the challenges that distributed systems designers face is that their performance is very sensitive to the characteristics of the underlying network. Hence, simple models that accurately describe some statistical properties of the Internet can be very helpful in the modelling, simulation and design of Internet-scale distributed systems.
