Introduction
Intentional attack- Is an attack that aim at bringing down network nodes in decreasing order of nodal
degrees Whether the fragility indeed exists in Internet?
- Doyle and his colleagues [1] argued that, as a result of careful design for maximizing network throughput, the hub nodes at the router level are typically the edge nodes with a large number of low-capacity connections.
- The removal of these hub nodes, though disastrous to the large number of low-capacity users connected to them, will not bring down the Internet
Is the retrieval of global information in Internet possible?- Internet is too large for anyone to obtain their global topology information, which
means an accurate, intentional attack is hardly feasible.- Distributed attack by using local information

Traditional Intentional attack
Cascading Failures on Power Transmission Grid Systems- Each node deals with a load of power- Removal of nodes can cause redistribution of loads over all network- A cascade of overloading failure is triggered.
- On August 10, 1996, a 1300-mw electrical line in southern Oregon sagged in the summer heat resulting in break-up into four islands, with loss of 30,390 MW of load affecting 7.49 million customers in western North America [2]
- On August 14, 2003, an initial disturbance in Ohio triggered the largest blackout in the U.S.’s history in which millions of people remained without electricity for as long as 15 hours
Cascading Failures on Internet- Traffic is rerouted to bypass malfunctioning routers- Eventually leading to an avalanche of overloads on other routers that are not
equipped to handle extra traffic.

Input Parameters and Output Measure
The load at node i is defined as the total number of shortest paths passing through this node.
The capacity of a node is the maximum load that the node can handle. The capacity Ci of node i is proportional to its initial load Li
- - where the constant is the tolerance parameter.
The removal of nodes in general changes the distribution of shortest paths.
Cascading failures can be conveniently quantified by the relative size of the largest connected component- - where N and N’ are the numbers of nodes in the largest component before and after
the cascade, respectively.

Before the attack
Degree distribution: Load distribution:
- where k is the degree variable, and a and b are positive constants. Thus, we have
- where kmax is the largest degree in the network and S is the total load of the network.
Then we have , and , where

Degree distribution: Load distribution: Since only a small fraction of nodes are removed from the network, we
assume that and
Then , and
For the node with k links, the difference in load before and after the attack can be written as
The maximum load increase that the nodes can handle is Thus, the nodes still function if

All nodes are set to have the same degree k=3 and N=5000 In the inset, k≥2, γ=3, and N=5000. The resulting average degree [k] ≈3.1

Numerical ResultsRobustness of the scale-free network
Internet hubs are of very high degrees.- The nodal degree of the biggest hub is 1458, whereas in the BA model, it is only 386.

Numerical ResultsRobustness of the scale-free network
Greedy sequential attack:- chooses the largest-degree, live node adjacent to the node crashed in the last step as its
next-step target. Coordinated attack:
- Searches through all the live nodes adjacent to any crashed node and selects among them the largest-degree node as its next-step target.

Conclusion
The scale-free network has “robust yet fragile” property, whereas the random graph is robust to both random and intentional attacks.- Internet is vulnerable to intentional attack. - However, a random attack does not significantly affect the network performance.
Performance of attacks based on incomplete/inaccurate network-topology information and local information- Incomplete information can degrade the efficiency of an intentional attack
significantly, especially if a big hub is missed.- Distributed attacks can be highly effective, sometimes almost as efficient as an
accurate global information-based attack.
