Unlike previous work, Gossipico provides a continuous estimate of, for example, the number of nodes, even when the network becomes disconnected. Gossipico converges quickly due to the introduction of a beacon mechanism that directs messages to an autonomously selected beacon node. The information spread through the network shows a percolation-like phase-transition and allows information to propagate along near-shortest paths. Simulations in various different network topologies (ranging in size up to one million nodes) illustrate Gossipico’s robustness against network changes and display a near-optimal count time. Moreover, in a comparison with other related gossip algorithms, Gossipico displays an improved and more stable performance over various classes of networks. %G English %Z TC 6 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01531972/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01531972/file/978-3-642-30054-7_32_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01531972 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01531972 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-LNCS-7290 %~ IFIP-NETWORKING
