## Abstract The huge popularity of recent peerβtoβpeer (P2P) file sharing systems has been mainly driven by the scalability of their architectures and the flexibility of their search facilities. Such systems are usually designed as unstructured P2P networks, because they impose few constraints on t
We quantify the effectiveness of random walks for searching and construction of unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. We have identified two cases where the use of random walks for searching achieves better results than flooding: (a) when the overlay topology is clustered, and (b) when a client
