"Sustaining the Internet with Hyperbolic Mapping"

http://bit.ly/bKn0fU  (Nature Communications)

   "The Internet infrastructure is severely stressed. Rapidly growing
    overheads associated with the primary function of the Internet -
    routing information packets between any two computers in the world
    -- cause concerns among Internet experts that the existing Internet
    routing architecture may not sustain even another decade. In this
    paper, we present a method to map the Internet to a hyperbolic space.
    Guided by a constructed map, which we release with this paper,
    Internet routing exhibits scaling properties that are theoretically
    close to the best possible, thus resolving serious scaling limitations
    that the Internet faces today. Besides this immediate practical
    viability, our network mapping method can provide a different
    perspective on the community structure in complex networks."
