Abstract: Simulations are an important tool in network research. As the selected topology often influences the outcome of the simulation, realistic topologies are needed to produce realistic simulation results. Using several similarity metrics to compare artificially generated topologies with real world topologies this letter gives hints how to use the wide-spread topology generators BRITE, TIERS and GT-ITM to create realistic topologies.
