Measuring Ethereum's peer-to-peer network
Ethereum, a cryptocurrency currently valued at 46 billion US dollars, has grown over 6,500% in the last 12 months. Despite the growth in value, we still have very limited Ethereum network visibility. In this thesis, we analyze the Ethereum network from two vantage points: the DEVp2p network and the …

Analysis of P2P file transferring system by stochastic queue models
Distributed protocols for peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing over the Internet have been highly successful in recent years. The idea is that files to be shared are broken into pieces. As new peers enter the system, they strive to obtain a complete collection from other peers and from a seed. In this …

Barracuda: The power of l-polling in proof of stake blockchains
Blockchain is a database of storing sequential events as a chain of blocks consistently across a distributed set of nodes. A fundamental problem in doing so is to decide where to put the next block and who should do it in a Sybil-resistant manner. To solve this problem, typically, a node is elected …
