Area of Science:

  • Network Science
  • Computational Social Science
  • Internet Studies

Background:

  • Understanding the growth and evolution of Internet providers is crucial for network stability and performance.
  • Existing models may not fully capture the dynamic, self-organizing nature of Internet infrastructure development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel model for the growth and evolution of Internet providers.
  • To explain observed Internet connection data using this model.
  • To provide a prototype model for aggregation processes in social networks.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a computational model for Internet provider growth.
  • Validating the model against real-world Internet connection data obtained via route tracing.
  • Analyzing the self-organized interactions between users and providers.

Main Results:

  • The model successfully reproduces observed data on Internet connections.
  • Internet network evolution can be explained by self-organized interactions between users and providers.
  • These interactions lead to network rearrangements over time.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed model offers a new perspective on Internet infrastructure development.
  • It highlights the role of self-organization and dynamic interactions in network evolution.
  • The model serves as a prototype for understanding aggregation phenomena in various social networks.
