TopoHub: A repository of reference Gabriel graph and real-world topologies for networking research

Abstract

Networking research often requires realistic topologies to study performance and resilience. This project introduces TopoHub, an open repository of reference network topologies of variety of network sizes based on the Gabriel graph model. The accompanying Python package offers functionalities for topology generation, analysis, and integration with the Mininet network emulator. A web interface allows users to explore topologies, including visualization of link utilization under various traffic demands. The project aims to provide a comprehensive topology data source for networking researchers, enabling standardized benchmarking and reproducible research.
