As we see that the world has become closer and faster and with the enormous growth of distributed networks like p2p, social networks, overlay networks, cloud computing etc. Theses Distributed networks are represented as graphs and the fundamental component of distributed network is the relationship defined by linkages among units or nodes in the network. Major concern for computer experts is how to store such enormous amount of data especially in form of graphs. There is a need for efficient data structure used for storage of such type of data should provide efficient format for fast retrieval of data as and when required, in this types of networks. Although adjacency matrix is an effective technique to represent a graph having few or large number of nodes and vertices but when it comes to analysis of huge amount of data from site likes like face book or twitter, adjacency matrix cannot do this. In this paper, we study the existing application of a special kind of data structure, skip graph with its various versions which can be efficiently used for storing such type of data resulting in optimal storage, space utilization retrieval and concurrency.
