For each value of , the convergence time has a minimum around the value of the connectivity (). We note that for very small values of , i.e., high fidelity in message transmission, the convergence time is not affected by the structure of the graph since agents barely rely on the blending repair strategy and the naming of each object becomes almost independent of the others.
