Complex networks of a technological nature are of paramount importance in modern life, having as direct impact on our daily lives. The major role of technological networks have lead to rising questions on how their complexity aspects their most vital properties, such as their reliability, stability or security. In many cases, the large amount of components and their intricate interrelationship can lead to global behaviour which was not planned nor expected. One of the most interesting questions regarding this networks asks how complex net- work structure aspects the dynamics that may take place within. We present a simple model of ¯xed-path dynamical processes in a network. Our model encodes two-party negotiation through zero-sum games between interacting nodes. Our simulations show interesting results, in particular, we have explored part of the parameter space and described how the efficiency E of the network, (i.e., the normalised average number of steps for a process to finish), depends on the load that a the processes represent on any given node.
