Example of a network with N=2500 nodes obtained in the configuration model with Newman rewiring using the degree distribution and two-point correlations of a Barabasi-Albert network with β=2 (“BA2”). The largest hubs have degree n≃80. The giant connected component is 100% of the total network. This is mainly due to the large average connectivity (〈k〉≃3.8, compared to 〈k〉≃1.9 of the BA1)
