BRITE's Topology Generation Parameters
	(More information at www.cs.bu.edu/brite/docs.html)

Flat Topology (AS Only or Router Only) Parameters:
Parameter	Meaning	Possible Values
HS	Length of one side of the plane (number of unit squares)	Integer > 0
LS	Length of inner plane	Integer > 0
N	Number of nodes in the graph	N <= HS x HS
Model	Use one of the models built into BRITE	Waxman, Barabasi
alpha, beta	Distribution parameters for Waxman Model	0< alpha:float < 1 ;  beta:float>0
m	Number of links added per new node	Integer > 0
Node Placement	Dictates how nodes are placed on the plane	Random, Heavy Tailed
Growth Type	Dictates how Edges are created between nodes	Incremental, All
Bandwidth Distr	Dictates how bandwidth is assigned to edges	Constant, Uniform, Exponential, Heavy-Tailed
MaxBW, MinBW	The maximum, minimum bandwidth assigned to an edge	Float > 0
Top Down Hierarchical Parameters:
Parameter	Meaning	Possible Values
Edge Connection	Edge Connection Method used to connect disconnected router topologies in Top Down Hierarchical Topology Model	Random Node, Smallest Degree Node, Smallest Degree Non-Leaf Node,  k-Degree Node (These were all borrowed from GT-ITM)
Intra BW Dist	Dictates how bandwidth is assigned within each AS.  (Overrides the bandwidth distribution selected for router level)	Constant, Uniform, Exponential, Heavy-Tailed
Intra BWMax/Min	The maximum, minimum bandwidth assigned to an edge connecting two routers in the same AS	Float > 0
Inter BW Dist	Dictates how bandwidth is assigned to edges connecting two different ASes.	Constant, Uniform, Exponential, Heavy-Tailed
Inter BWMax/Min	The maximum, minimum bandwidth assigned to an edge connecting border routers.	Float > 0
Bottom Up Hierarchical Parameters:
Parameter	Meaning	Possible Values
AssignType	Dictates how many routers are given to each AS.  If Constant, each AS gets N/NumAS routers.	Constant, Uniform, Exponential, Heavy-Tailed
NumAS	Number of AS nodes to group router nodes into	Integer > 0
Grouping Method	How router nodes are grouped into AS	RandomPick: Randomly selects routers according to AssignType for each AS.  As a result, each AS may have disconnected router topologies. RandomWalk: Randomly traverses the graph until the number of router nodes for each AS is reached.  This gurantees that each AS has a connected corresponding router topology.
Inter BW Dist:	Dictates how bandwidth is assigned to edges connecting two different ASes.	Constant, Uniform, Exponential, Heavy-Tailed
Max BW, Min BW	The maximum, minimum bandwidth assigned to an edge connecting border routers.	Float > 0
Miscellaneous Parameters:
Export Format Options	The format that a generated topology should be saved as.	BRITE: Save current topology in the BRITE file format. OTTER: Otter is CAIDA's network topology visualization tool and can be found at www.caida.org/tools. Selecting this option creates a file format that is understood by Otter.
