In this sense, a 15% increase in the average interconnection among active autonomous systems was observed in the countries where the simulation was run.<\/p>\n<p>Silva said that the research on LAC interconnection was implemented using graphs to model the Internet at Autonomous System level. In these graphs, an Autonomous System is represented by a node, while the interconnection between two Autonomous Systems is represented by an edge. One of the parameters measured in these graphs to analyze the level of interconnection is node degree. Node degree is the number of edges that reach the node. An average degree can then be calculated for the entire graph. \u201cThis means that, in our case, the graph\u2019s average degree measures the average number of links per Autonomous System,\u201d Silva observed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI defined certain metrics in order to compare the graphs for different regions and countries.\u201d In addition, taking advantage of country-level graphs, I simulated the creation of Internet exchange points in certain countries and analyzed their potential impact. Silva concluded by saying she would show these results in her presentation.<\/p>\n<p>More details will be presented on September 30<sup>th<\/sup> in Bogot\u00e1 <a
