P2P Blockchain Network Simulation

A P2P Blockchain Network Simulation as part of CS 765 : Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies and Smart Contracts at IIT Bombay

Getting Started

You must have Graphviz installed over your system to be able to print the network topology. Check this link to download a version compatible to your system - https://graphviz.org/download/

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/ariel-waisburg/p2p-network-simulator
cd p2p-network-simulator

Executing program

g++ main.cpp -o simulation.exe
./simulation.exe

Enter parameters

Enter the number of peers in the network: 11

Mean time of block interarrival in seconds: 600

Mean number of transaction per second: 0.05

Duration for the simulation to run in seconds: 4000

Enter the percentage of slow peers in the network (%): 45

Enter the percentage of low cpu in the network (%): 55
