CS 765 assgn - P2P sim
Need to have python3.7 or higher installed.
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip on Debian/Ubuntu machines would allow installation of python3 as well as pip(pip3).
After having installed pip, the python dependencies can be installed as pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt
After having installed all dependencies, the code can simply be run as python3 p2p-sim.py or ./p2p-sim.py.
To run the simulation with a selfish miner or a stubborn miner, the mode argument needs to be set as 1 and 2 respectively.
Certain logging information is printed to scree and at the end of the simulation, block-dumps are created in files named i.log where i is the number referring to i-th node, i is indexed from 0. Similarly, i.png files contain the blockchain trees for i-th node.
usage: p2p-sim.py [-h] [--nodes NODES] [--z Z] [--edge EDGE] [--invalid INVALID] [--Ttx TTX] [--sim_time SIM_TIME] [--seed SEED] [--lower LOWER] [--upper UPPER]
[--img IMG] [--mode {0,1,2}] [--conns CONNS] [--mpow MPOW]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--nodes NODES nodes in P2P network
--z Z probability of each node being fast
--edge EDGE probability of each edge being present or absent
--invalid INVALID probability of each block being invalid
--Ttx TTX mean time for txn gen
--sim_time SIM_TIME maximum simulation time
--seed SEED seed for random functions
--lower LOWER lower bound on Tk
--upper UPPER upper bound on Tk
--img IMG output image name, png images are generated
--mode {0,1,2} Mode for selfish or stubborn mining
--conns CONNS Percentage connections for selfish/stubborn mining
--mpow MPOW Mining power of adversary is m_pow times that of honest miner with high mining power
