In this paper we develop a model for random walk-based search mechanisms in unstructured P2P networks. This model is used to obtain analytical expressions for the performance metr...
—Hybrid P2P systems rely on the assumption that sufficient objects exist nearby in order to make the unstructured search component efficient. This availability depends on the o...
