English The metric structure of bosonic scale-free networks and fermionic Cayley-tree networks is analyzed, focusing on the directed distance of nodes from the origin. The topology of the networks strongly depends on the dynamical parameter T, called the temperature. At T= infinity we show analytically that the two networks have a similar behavior: the distance of a generic node from the origin of the network scales as the logarithm of the number of nodes in the network. At T=0 the two networks have an opposite behavior: the bosonic network remains very clusterized (the distance from the origin remains constant as the network increases the number of nodes), while the fermionic network grows following a single branch of the tree, and the distance from the origin varies as a power law of the number of nodes in the network.
