Blockchain network simulation for verifying performance of consensus algorithms

摘要

The present invention aims to develop a model that can perform a more realistic simulation with less cost and time than before in measuring and analyzing the performance of a consensus algorithm in charge of a decision-making process in a blockchain network. In the proposed method, a virtual network can be easily implemented on one physical machine through Mininet, a network emulator, and parameters that can express the consensus algorithm can be set by the user and applied to the blockchain network. In the present invention, the principle and operation process of the simulator driven through the method are introduced in detail.
