Flooding and random walk (RW) are the two typical search algorithms in unstructured peer-to-peer networks. The flooding algorithm searches the network aggressively. It covers the m...
—Random walk (RW) has been widely used as a strategy for searching in peer-to-peer networks. The boom of social network applications introduces new impact to the classical algori...
—This paper derives the optimal search time and the optimal search cost that can be achieved in unstructured peer-topeer networks when the demand pattern exhibits clustering (i.e...
