Network topology models for telecommunication and automation networks

Development process of routing protocols require the proper model of real network. The paper discussed network structures reflecting real topologies of transport networks - telecommunication and automation networks. It approaches basic methods of generating the topologies - Waxman method and the Barabasi-Albert method. A performance study is also conducted with the heuristic network generator - Inet. Tests were carried out for a wide range of parameters defining properties and characteristics of test networks topologies.
