Internet Topology Network
A Internet router topology dataset of 34,761 nodes and 107,720 edges, collected by KONECT via traceroute measurements. Each record contains directed: False, weighted: True. Temporal internet router topology network with Unix timestamps per measurement.. Suitable for internet topology analysis, network robustness, temporal network analysis.
