its the communications between the nodes..are they passive, aggressive, how do they communicate with each other...for example...should a relay propagate a stream to more than one node; with video, for instance, your replicating data over the entire network; but something like a simple connection message should not.
I say screw the math...math can't do real measurement of true animalistic behavior..
anger for example? 'fuzzy'....and how nodes communicate and work together are the same way an orgranism will work with others (small world) and within itself...as well...
so your network can be whatever...it will ultimateley be determined by ones view of the world. and science is a view...for example...i believe in the passive approach...and my protocols reflect that...and if you know small world theory; this could be called the
'weak' connection....which if you know anything about human and social behavior, is the one where information travels most efficiently.

I'll chime in. In the P2P world, O(log^2 N) may not be efficient, but
it may be the cheapest in terms of resources. For instance, a walker
may take a while to find a resource in a small world topology, but it
expends little effort at each node. Conversely, to attain fewer hops,
that also means a larger resource at each node to index and process
the index queries. There are also ways to use the hubs in such
networks to greatly improve efficiency.
The small world is also not necessarily the complete network or only
topology available to an application. The number of hops in a search
is not the same as a the number of hops that may be applied to
communications. Thus even when one part is inefficient, the other may
be ideal.
