Research of information dissemination processes in decentralized networks

Abstract

The article presents the results of the analysis of the processes of node propagation, which create a decentralized network, store and generate information of this network, and interact with each other influencing the general state of the system. A modeling study of the effectiveness of the experimental algorithm of the system of monitoring and analysis of the behavior of the nodes of the corresponding system was carried out. A comparison of the obtained results with existing solutions is given. To study the topology, a test version of the program was used, which allows to collect information about functioning nodes by direct interaction. The research was conducted on the example of peer-to-peer decentralized Bitcoin network systems. As a result of the work, a software product was created that analyzes the Bitcoin network, builds its topology, and tracks the changes that have taken place dreamed in the network, and provides visualization of results in real time. During the study of the existing implementations of distribution processes in decentralized systems, the issues concerning the opening of peers and their management were investigated. The problem of topology discovery in bitcoin network and basic methods of topology detection are considered. An alternative method of solving this problem is proposed.
