EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN DYNAMICS OF MESSAGE DELAYS AND FRACTAL DIMENSION OF COMMUNICATION NETWORK TOPOLOGY
We consider here some methods of fractal geometry used for determination of system characteristics of topologically distributed networks and show the dependence of delay times in the large-sized communication networks on their geometry or topology. Also given here is the basic quantitative characteristic of these networks, i.e., fractal dimension that makes it possible to analyze the dynamic processes in them with proper account for a topological structure given.
