Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying mediated communications in a network of nodes, including: determining the number of direct communications between a first node and a second node, the communications occurring in either direction; determining the number of indirect communications between the first node and the second node through the one or more mediator nodes, the communications occurring in either direction; and comparing the number of direct communications to the number of indirect communications.
Claims24
A method for identifying mediated communications in a network of nodes, the method comprising:
- determining the number of direct communications between a first node and a second node;
- determining the number of indirect communications between the first node and the second node through one or more mediator nodes;
- and
- comparing the number of direct communications to the number of indirect communications.
An information handling system for identifying mediated communications in a network of nodes, the system comprising:
- one or more memory units;
- one or more processor units;
- and
- one or more input/output devices,
- wherein the system is operable to:
- determine the number of direct communications between a first node and a second node;
- determine the number of indirect communications between the first node and the second node through one or more mediator nodes;
- and
- compare the number of direct communications to the number of indirect communications.
A computer program product stored on a computer operable medium, the computer program product comprising software code being effective to:
- determine the number of direct communications between a first node and a second node;
- determine the number of indirect communications between the first node and the second node through one or more mediator nodes;
- and
- compare the number of direct communications to the number of indirect communications.
