The Flattening Internet Topology: Natural Evolution, Unsightly Barnacles or Contrived

HPL-2008-47 The Flattening Internet Topology: Natural Evolution, Unsightly Barnacles or Contrived Collapse? - Gill, Phillipa; Arlitt, Martin; Li, Zongpeng; Mahanti, Anirban
Keyword(s): Internet, topology, content providers, private WAN, measurement
Abstract: In this paper we collect and analyze traceroute measurements 1 to show that large content providers (e.g., Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!) are deploying their own wide-area networks, bringing their networks closer to users, and bypassing Tier-1 ISPs on many paths. This trend, should it continue and be ad ...

Hello, I'm looking at simplfying a function that flattens an array, it uses recursion and filters objects by type but this seems to be a waste of resources to me at least, using conditionals like this seems like a bad idea.

strnatcasecmp - Case insensitive string comparisons using a ";natural order" algorithm

SYNOPSIS
int strnatcasecmp (string $str1, string $str2) DESCRIPTION
This function implements a comparison algorithm that orders alphanumeric strings in the way a human being would. The behaviour of this function is similar to strnatcmp(3), except that the comparison is not case sensitive. For more information see: Martin Pool's Natural Order String Comparison page. PARAMETERS
o $str1 - The first string. o $str2 - The second string. RETURN VALUES
Similar to other string comparison functions, this one returns < 0 if $str1 is less than $str2 > 0 if $str1 is greater than $str2, and 0 if they are equal. SEE ALSO
