Hui Zhang has published a paper
named "Using the Small-World Model to Improve Freenet Performance". It
should correspond to your idea, so maybe you could read that.
Be careful of this paper. If I recall correctly, most of their results can be attributed to the fact that they ensured that links existed between adjacent nodes in the graph, which obviously would have a dramatic beneficial effect relative to a network where local links may be missing as it means that in the worst case you will do an exhaustive search for the node you are looking for just by following local links.
Our findings, as presented in Oskar's thesis, are that Freenet-style edge selection results in the desired degree of clustering without "artificial" help.
