Social Life of Routers

Routers also have "friends", and their own "Facebook" -- routing tables that tell each router who it is connected to [no pictures of drunk routers though].

Eight years ago I wrote a technical paper about applying social network analysis to designing better computer networks. It is still one of the most downloaded PDFs from my web site, so it must still be useful. I wrote this paper after discussions with Guy Hagen and Ed Vielmetti, who connected me to the editor of Cisco's Internet Protocol Journal, Olé Jacobsen. Ed closes at lot of triangles!
