Abstract

In this paper, we develop an analytical framework to explain the appearance of bimodal degree distribution in existing popular superpeer networks like Gnutella. The framework leads to several interesting and important inferences related to network topology and node/link dynamics. Beyond the simulation based study, we validate our framework through almost exact matching of the topological structure of Gnutella network constructed from real data.
