Abstract
The characterization of complex networks is an investigation line that focuses in the topology
analysis, classification and modeling. The degree distribution is a characterization function widely used in
the analysis of complex networks, however, it provides rough information about the network. In this
work, a study of both the degree distribution and the “node degree dispersion coefficient” with three
Internet shots was carried out. We propose the “node degree dispersion coefficient” to obtain local
information and identify topological characteristics that are not showed by the degree distribution. Our
results show that the Internet has a dynamic growing that produces changes in its degree distribution
through the time. The topology obtained in 2003, shows a reduction in the node degree dispersion
coefficient. This means that the differences between the degree of a given node and the degree of its
neighbors have been reduced.

INT-2003 192,244 609,066 6.33 1 1,071 Table 1 shows that INT-2000 contains approximately
two times the number of nodes and edges that we found in
INT-1997. This increment in the number of nodes and
edges motivates an increase in maximum degree, ' (G ) ,
of INT-2000. However, although INT-2003 contains
a number of nodes and edges much greater than INT-
2000, exist a reduction in the maximum degree, ' (G ) .
This is a very important characteristic because in INT-
2003, the increase in the number of nodes and edges are
not correlated with the increase of ' (G ) . In Fig. 1,
accumulated probability for INT-1997 and INT-2000,
shows a similar behavior with small perturbations. The
right tail in INT-2000, reflects the increase in its
maximum degree. Different to INT-1997 and INT-2000,
the accumulated degree distribution for INT-2003 exhibits
a curvilinear behavior. This is, we find high values for
accumulated probability when k 10 2 and a fast decay
for k ! 102 . Clearly, there are topological differences
between INT-2003 and the other Internet graphs. In Table
2, the maximum ddc (i ) is between 5.5 and 7.0. These
ddc (i ) values define the greater node degree variation

minimum value of ddc (i ) is zero, in other words, a few
nodes in each graph have neighbors with the same degree.
