Performance of blocking methods for slashdot (t = 2 and β = 500) and three seed nodes

Blocking method Average number
of nodes affected
with blocking		 Ratio of (average
affected) to (MP
number affected)
CBH 3.0 6.3 × 10−5
PBH 3.1 6.5 × 10−5
Random (RCH) 43569.8 0.91
High degree (HCH) 23586.5 0.49
Betweenness centrality (BCH) 27183.4 0.57
Eigenvector centrality (ECH/HITS) 31882.1 0.67
NetShield 26952.7 0.56

The maximum number of nodes that can be affected from t = 2 diffusion for slashdot is 47760
