Network topologies and statistical data

(1) The files include two types, i.e., topologies with link configurations and statistical experimental data.

(2) The topologies include the Waxman and the bottom-up hierarchical (BH) topologies, generated by the BRITE [1] topology generator, the trans-stub (TS) topology generated by the GT-ITM topology generator [2]. The topologies are named by a fixed format. For example, for a BH topology with 1000 nodes, the file is named by BH-1000-X, where X is the sequence number of the topologies of the same type (i.e., BH) and with the same node number.

(3）Statistical data files are named by the format "Statistical data-Y". The meanings please refer to the annotations in the files.
