Abstract

We show that the asynchronous push-pull protocol spreads rumors in preferential attachment graphs (as defined by Barabási and Albert) in time to all but a lower order fraction of the nodes with high probability. This is significantly faster than what synchronized protocols can achieve; an obvious lower bound for these is the average distance, which is known to be Θ(logn/loglogn).
