Understanding key structural properties of large scale networks are crucial for analyzing and optimizing their performance, and improving their reliability and security. Here we show that these networks possess a previously unnoticed feature, global curvature, which we argue has a major impact on core congestion: the load at the core of a network with N nodes scales as N^2 as compared to N^1.5 for a flat network. We substantiate this claim through analysis of a collection of real data networks across the globe as measured and documented by previous researchers.
