Random walks

Can't remember whether this has been raised before, but a random walk 
terminates at a given node with probability proportional to the node's 
degree; does this mean high-degree nodes are more likely to receive swap 
requests than low-degree nodes? Seems like that could be disruptive in 
two ways:

1) When a high-degree node changes its location, many other nodes are 
affected.

2) There might be some correlation between degree and other properties: 
high-degree darknet nodes might belong to committed users with large 
stores, in which case it's particularly disruptive if those nodes keep 
moving.

Just a thought.

Cheers,
Michael
