X Abstract

Many communication and social networks have power-law link distributions; containing a few nodes that have a very high degree and many with low degree. The high connectivity nodes play the important role of hubs in communication and networking; a fact that can be exploited when designing efficient search algorithms. We introduce a number of local search strategies that utilize high degree nodes in power-law graphs and that have costs scaling sublinearly with the size of the graph. We also demonstrate the utility of these strategies on the gnutella peer-to-peer network.
