The real-world complex networks robustness of the efficiency functioning (Eff) decreases with links weight heterogeneity where instead the LCC is approximately constant. The robustness of the efficiency Eff and largest connected cluster LCC measures of the system functioning under nodes and links removal strategies. We randomly assigned the weight of the links over the real-world topological structure of the networks under exam. Link weights are sorted from 2 values distribution (1, Wmax); the upper limit Wmax ranges in (1, 105); the outcomes are the average of 104 simulations. For sake of example we depict the outcomes from the Cargo ship and the E. coli network. Left column: Cargo ship network under nodes removal strategies; Right column: E. Coli network under links removal strategies.
