I would say that the choice really depends on what exactly you're simulating. Abilene topology (if you're talking about the core topology) is really small and you don't have too much choice, even for random. In Interest Flooding simulation (<a href="https://github.com/cawka/ndnSIM-ddos-interest-flooding">https://github.com/cawka/ndnSIM-ddos-interest-flooding</a>) we have used larger topology from RocketFuel (unfortunately no real link delays or bandwidths, but we did some randomization for that), where we selected different tiers of nodes based on their topological parameters (leaf nodes are customers, next level are gateways, the rest is a backbone) and then installed consumers on random subset of leaf nodes. Depending on where producer is installed (leaf, gw, backbone), you can get different results, as well as different real world scenario that it could represent.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope it helps.</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div>Alex</div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 1, 2013, at 1:12 AM, Saeid Montazeri <<a href="mailto:saeid.montazeri@gmail.com">saeid.montazeri@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Dear All,<div><br></div><div>I am going to use abilene topology for my evaluation.
