Abstract
This chapter introduces a recently discovered structure of the Internet, namely the rich-club phenomenon (Zhou & Mondragón, 2004a). The significance of this discovery is that an appreciation of the rich-club phenomenon is essential for a proper examination of global Internet characteristics, such as routing efficiency, network flexibility, and robustness (Zhou & Mondragón, 2004b).
