A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Network Complexity Research Group Working Group of the IETF. Title : A Framework for Defining Network Complexity Author(s) : Michael H. Behringer Geoff Huston Filename : draft-irtf-ncrg-complexity-framework-00.txt Pages : 8 Date : 2013-02-17 Abstract: Complexity is a widely used parameter in network design, yet there is no generally accepted definition of the term. Complexity metrics exist in a wide range of research papers, but most of these address only a particular aspect of a network, for example the complexity of a graph or software. There is a desire to define the complexity of a network as a whole, as deployed today to provide Internet services. This document provides a framework to guide research on the topic of network complexity.
