Abstract: We present extsc{P2PTFHH} (Peer--to--Peer Time--Faded Heavy Hitters) which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first distributed algorithm for mining time--faded heavy hitters on unstructured P2P networks. extsc{P2PTFHH} is based on the extsc{FDCMSS} (Forward Decay Count--Min Space-Saving) sequential algorithm, and efficiently exploits an averaging gossip protocol, by merging in each interaction the involved peers' underlying data structures. We formally prove the convergence and correctness properties of our distributed algorithm and show that it is fast and simple to implement. Extensive experimental results confirm that extsc{P2PTFHH} retains the extreme accuracy and error bound provided by extsc{FDCMSS} whilst showing excellent scalability. Our contributions are three-fold: (i) we prove that the averaging gossip protocol can be used jointly with our augmented sketch data structure for mining time--faded heavy hitters; (ii) we prove the error bounds on frequency estimation; (iii) we experimentally prove that extsc{P2PTFHH} is extremely accurate and fast, allowing near real time processing of large datasets.
