Abstract :
In this paper we introduce a non-uniform random-graph model for studying the evolution of ad hoc peer-to-peer (P2P) communities. The model provides control over the nodal degree distribution. We study basic properties such as reachability from a given node and overall traffic handled by a node using an analytical approach. The analytic model can be used in conjunction with a simulation model to study detailed performance tradeoffs in a P2P file-sharing network.
