Gossiping between nodes in PHEX(pushing information from one node to other)

Hi,
I am working on Reputation and Trust Management in P2P networks and using PHEX for the purpose.

For reputation aggregation, I need to use some gossiping algorithms. And for that I want to push some information(say a random text information) from one node to other and read this text information on the other node too. This information will contain reputation values for different nodes as per the pushing node that it will be communicating/pushing to another node(its neighbor) to let him update his own reputation values for different nodes.

Can please someone help me on how can one do this? Which classes should I work with in the source code?
May be I can use GGEP extensions to add this information and pass it on during ping/pongs messages. Suggest me if I am thinking on right lines or not.
Or please suggest an alternative way which may be good to do this.

Thank You.

Unfortunately my post does not answer your question. I googled the concept and collated some links however they are all theory based from university studies over the past 10 years. Chances are you already know the theories. I am sorry if my links are irrelevant to your question which is asking for an appropriate coding approach.

A coder might happen by sooner or later who knows the correct approach you can use.


Several links are local google url's so I am not sure will be working. Majority are pdf's.
