We can understand the centralization of the network clearly by researching the evolvement trend of the Internet macroscopic topology. The massive data we use in this paper is from CAIDA (The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis) Skitter project. And the time span of the data is from July, 2001 to January, 2008. This paper introduces the background of the AS-level topology at first, then carries out the evolvement of degree, core and layer. It is believed that the influence of the top-degree nodes on the other nodes decreases and the centralization of network is going to fall off with the decrease of the core. And the nucleus status of network declines. Keywords: AS-Level, Centralization, Top-Degree, Core, Layer 1. Introduction small space, the short span of the data analysis and the simple method in measuring. So we have to do more comprehensive and further studies on it [2]. The Internet has been a complex self-organizing ecosys- tem which is composed of numerous computers and is now quite different from its prototype, ARPANET. Al- though the Internet was built up by human personally, none of us can describe what it looks like and how it op- erates. The research on the Internet topology is to study the laws which are contained in the network whic
