We investigate a problem of data packet transport between a pair of vertices on scale-free networks without loops or with a small number of loops. By introducing load of a vertex as accumulated sum of a fraction of data packets traveling along the shortest pathways between every pair of vertices, it is found that the load distribution follows a power law with an exponent. It is found for the Barabási-Albert-type model that the exponentchanges abruptly fromfor tree structure toas the number of loops increases. The load exponent seems to be insensitive to different values of the degree exponentas long as.
