Abstract(in English) Recent studies have shown that a topology of the Internet exhibits powerlaw where the outdegree (the number of links) of network node obeys a powerlaw distribution, and many researchers investigate the origin of powerlaw and how to generate a topology model with the powerlaw distribution. However, in order to show the necessity of modelling a network topology using the powerlaw, it is important to study impacts of the powerlaw on network performance. In this paper, with a computer simulation, we evaluate the distribution of congestion in the network with the powerlaw, and discuss the relationship between the network topology and congestion. Our results show that the powerlaw is a very important factor for newtork congestion and indicate a novel methodology of network design from the viewpoint of network topology.
