A Discrete-event Simulator for a P2P Cryptocurrency Network.
Assignment 1 of COL 867 - High Speed Networks course at IIT Delhi taught by Prof. Vinay Ribeiro.
-
We've used Python 3 on Ubuntu for testing.
-
Chart outputs are stored in the
output/directory
In the source directory, run: python3 run.py [n] [z] [tm] [bm]
For eg: python3 run.py 10 0.3 3 10
By default, simulations run for a maximum of 1000 events.
To change that pass --until parameter and to suppress printing of event log use -q:
For eg: python3 run.py 10 0.3 3 10 -q --until 5000
All these steps can also be performed at once, just by running make. See Makefile for more information.
It turned out that our design was fundamentally flawed. We had to consider this as a distributed system problem and not have a centralized simulation controller.
Marks were deducted for this mistake. We ended up scoring 19.5/25.
