Abstract

The network topology structure has great impact on its traffic capacity. Most of the biological and technological networks have been proved to exhibit scale-free feature. In real networks, the hub links, which usually bear large traffic loads, have restricted transport efficiency of the complex networks. In this paper, we focus on the bandwidth congestion and propose a rewiring link strategy to optimize traffic dynamics on scale-free networks. Two link rewiring strategies are compared and the simulation results on scale-free networks show that our strategy has more advantages, which makes the degree distribution of the network more uniform, reducing the average path length of different nodes, balancing the resources of the network and increasing the traffic capacity of the network. This work will be beneficial for designing network topology and optimizing network performances.
