Abstract
Systems and methods for analyzing the structure of logical networks. Embodiments of the invention include ranking critical nodes according to regional hierarchies, distance hierarchies, global hierarchies, and relay hierarchies. Embodiments of the present invention are capable of testing the effectiveness of such hierarchies. In addition, critical nodes may be used to define critical regions.
Claims1
A method for analyzing a structure of a network, comprising:
- entering data form the network into a system as one or more nodes;
- designating links between nodes as global or local;
- and
- ranking the nodes utilizing link designation as global or local.
