Simple algorithm for picking up 3-7 preferred nodes for each node among a pool of nodes, so that its a little uneven (every node has different number of preferred nodes) but overall there is a balance in distribution.
$nodes = array();
for ( $i = 1; $i <= 100; $i++ ) {
$nodes[ $i ] = '';
}
print_r( $nodes );
foreach ( $nodes as $key => &$node ) {
$random_keys_selection = array_rand( $nodes, mt_rand( 3, 7 ) );
var_dump( $random_keys_selection );
$node[ $key ] = implode( ',', $random_keys_selection );
}
print_r( $nodes );
