S-BITE

The Structure-Based Internet Topology gEnerator (S-BITE) is an Autonomous System (AS) level topology generator for the Internet.

The generator exploits a technique that partitions the network topology into two distinct blocks: the Core, which captures the underlying community structure of the Internet, and the Periphery, representing the “tendrils” of the topology.

Thanks to this layering, S-BITE is able to accurately reproduce Internet topology at the statistical level,matching classical graph metrics, and represent its structure.

S-BITE is mostly implemented in C and depends on the igraph library available at http://igraph.sourceforge.net
In order to speed up the execution of the different components, the package uses shell scripts.
