Abstract :
A network traffic system can be tuned by three factors: (i) the topology of underlying infrastructure; (ii) the distribution of traffic resources; (iii) the routing strategy. In this paper, we propose a model to study the optimization of network capacity based on complex network theory. We study the optimization method of network traffic in several situations corresponding to the real cases. The model is proposed mainly for the information traffic system. It can also be modified to characterize the behavior of an urban traffic system. Our study can benefit the modern communication networks, urban transportation systems, airline traffic, and power grids.
