We study gossip algorithms for the fundamental rumor spreading problem, where the goal is to disseminate a rumor from a given source node to all nodes in an arbitrary (and unknown) graph. Gossip algorithms allow each node to call only one…

Randomized gossip is one of the most popular way of disseminating information in large scale networks. This method is appreciated for its simplicity, robustness, and efficiency. In the "push" protocol, every informed node selects, at every…

Gossip protocols have been proposed as a robust and efficient method for disseminating information throughout large-scale networks. In this paper, we propose a compositional analysis technique to study formal probabilistic models of gossip…
