Abstract
Hierarchical peer to peer Network Management Systems are attracting a surge of interest in recent years. However, due to their special characteristics, they are more vulnerable to active worm propagations in comparison to current network management systems. In this paper, we study the speed of active worm propagation in a typical hierarchical P2P based network management system from an analytical point of view. Numerical study of the proposed model then is invoked to analyze the propagation process and study the impact of different factors including system size, node type and connection degree.
