A curated dataset of real and synthetic quasi-planar Internet backbone network topologies

This record archives version v1 of the T-Garden dataset, accompanying the Scientific Data manuscript “A curated dataset of real and synthetic quasi-planar Internet backbone network topologies.” The archive contains curated real-world physical-layer Internet backbone topologies and synthetic quasi-planar backbone network topologies in GML format, together with plots and license information. The archive is a static snapshot of the public GitHub repository https://github.com/kepestamas/T-Garden-Networks. If you use T-Garden in academic work, please cite the associated Scientific Data paper once available.
