We introduce a multiscale network construction that accelerates the convergence of distributed consensus algorithms on the network. Local update rules are given to account for node and edge failure, and the trade-off between performance and robustness of the multilevel network is investigated. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the improved convergence rate obtained using the new algorithm.
