I can't find the paper now, but when researching mesh networks and onion routing circa 2001-2005 I remember a paper which showed that in a distributed, decentralized mesh network (plus or minus some other constraints that may or may not have mattered, like uniformity) each additional node increased aggregate throughput, but the increase asymptotically approached zero.
