Currently, as both the public and private sectors have become increasingly reliant on Internet-related infrastructure, it is essential that the most valuable components of the telecommunications system be identified and protected from disruptions and sabotage, to ensure the proper functioning of the nation's economy and communications networks. Any disruption that might lead to the loss of a network component could have devastating consequences for both the overall network and the economy at large. In light of these concerns, our study focuses on U.S. telecommunication networks and the Internet backbone. Our study highlights the importance of spatial variability and discusses the potential susceptibility of network components. More specifically, our study outlines a methodology for identifying critical nodes and links in the U.S. Internet backbone network. This type of analysis will aid policy-makers in the allocation of resources when determining which infrastructures are most important to protect or duplicate, to minimize the threat of a disruption. Identifying critical components is essential for prioritization schemes that may be developed to add redundancy and circuits to the network, to ensure its proper functioning in the event of an attack or disaster. A graph theoretic approach is used to define and rank nodes and links and to measure their importance to the overall network using both weighted and unweighted scenarios. Implications of various node- and linkage-removal scenarios are also discussed. Empirical results suggests clustering of telecommunication infrastructure and bandwidth within large metropolitan locations, with regional variations in connectivity that are not simply a matter of population size. Understanding the Internet as a "network of networks" will aid in protecting and preserving the network, lessen component susceptibility to disruptions, and enhance its overall efficiency.
