Abstract
A query is propagated from a querying node to a destination node in a network of connected nodes, where at least one node is designated as a delay node. A query is transmitted from the querying node to one or more connected nodes in the network of connected nodes. One or more nodes, from the one or more connected nodes, are designated as delay nodes, wherein delay nodes apply delays to the query before retransmitting the query to other nodes from the one or more connected nodes. Upon receiving the query, each node, from the one or more connected nodes, retransmits the query to another one or more nodes from the one or more connected nodes. The query is repeatedly received and retransmitted by the connected nodes until the query is received at the destination node.
