? Simulate a random network model with a slight deviation from the ER model where the variation is as follows. The network has N nodes where N is very large (>1000), link creation probability p is very small (<0.1). As time progresses, at regular intervals, certain links get removed from the network with probability p 4 . Estimate the changes in the characteristics, such as mean nodal degree, APL, and degree distribution parameters, of the network after k intervals where k = 1, 2, 5, and 10.

What will be an ideal response?

This problem is a computer-based exercise. Use any of the following network simulators:
NS-2, NS-3, QualNet, OPNET, or write a Matlab program on your own to simulate the
network. Some Matlab code fractions available for simulations can be found at https://
