[0038] To facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0039] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0040] The inventors have found through research that the prior art has the following problems:

[0041] (1) Currently, Ethereum is the most widely used smart contract platform in blockchain. Although there are more and more studies on the consensus algorithm of Ethereum and the security analysis of contract codes, the research on the peer-to-peer network characteristics of Ethereum has not been fully emphasized. Some studies have shown that the security of blockchain systems using the proof-of-work mechanism depends on the reliability of the peer-to-peer network. Therefore, we need a technically complete network simulation tool for the Ethereum peer-to-peer network to find out the possible risks and hidden dangers therein.

[0042] (2) In traditional simulation technologies, in order to simulate an environment similar to the communication of blockchain nodes in reality, it is necessary to use local loopback addresses and occupy local ports to implement the simulation of the peer-to-peer network. This results in the network communication between nodes depending on the network interface of the operating system, and the number of node simulations is limited by the local available ports.

[0043] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, an Ethereum network topology simulation method based on pipeline technology provided by an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0044] S1. Generate an initial blockchain network according to the received simulation blockchain node parameter information;

[0045] Specifically, the normal operation of each node in the blockchain system and their joint participation in forming the entire network rely on the efficient operation of the underlying peer-to-peer network. Generally speaking, the process of initializing a node to join the peer-to-peer network can be divided into two processes: node discovery and data communication. Specifically, the node discovery process can be divided into three steps: First, specify a series of seed nodes for the local node and save them in the local node database; then, the local node executes the node discovery algorithm on the seed nodes to obtain the node record information of other nodes; finally, the local node saves the obtained records in the node database, selects specific nodes from the database using the routing algorithm, and continues the query, repeating this process.

[0046] The data communication process can be divided into two steps: First, use a specific algorithm to select peer nodes with shorter distances from the local node database; then, perform an encrypted handshake and a sub-protocol handshake with the peer nodes. After passing the verification, an encrypted communication link can be successfully established for block data exchange.

[0047] Two main protocols run on the peer-to-peer network of Ethereum, namely the UDP-based node discovery protocol and the TCP-based RLPx protocol. Initially, the local node needs to obtain the basic information of the other nodes through the node discovery protocol and can establish an encrypted data communication link with the other party through the RLPx protocol after selecting the corresponding nodes.

[0048] To implement the simulation of the Ethernet, it is necessary to first initialize the blockchain network. The user inputs the simulation blockchain node parameter information into the blockchain system. After the blockchain system receives the simulation blockchain node parameter information, it generates an initial blockchain network.

[0049] Among them, generating an initial blockchain network according to the received simulation blockchain node parameter information includes the following steps:

[0050] S101. Generate N nodes of the blockchain network according to the received information that the number of simulation blockchain nodes is N;

[0051] S102. Define the nodes of the blockchain network according to the received node parameter information of the blockchain network, where the node parameter information of the blockchain network includes the node name;

[0052] S103. Network the N nodes of the blockchain network in the Socket network communication mode to generate an initial blockchain network.

[0053] Specifically, the user inputs information about the number of simulated blockchain nodes as N to the blockchain system. After receiving the information about the number of simulated blockchain nodes as N, the blockchain system generates N nodes of the blockchain network. All N nodes of the blockchain network are child process nodes generated under the main process. Then the user inputs the node parameter information of each blockchain network to the blockchain system. The blockchain system defines the nodes of the blockchain network according to the received node parameter information of the blockchain network. The node parameter information of the blockchain network includes the node name. The N nodes of the blockchain network are networked according to the Socket network communication method to generate an initialized blockchain network, thus completing the initialization of the blockchain network.

[0054] S2. Simulate the communication operations of the nodes in the initialized blockchain network based on the pipe technology to form simulated nodes.

[0055] Specifically, this step requires defining the data transmission method of the initialized blockchain network. First, the network type to be simulated needs to be selected. The main network types for simulation are the memory pipe (pipe) communication network and the named pipe (FIFO) communication network. The user can select the memory pipe communication network or the named pipe communication network as the data packet distribution method for the initialized blockchain network of the present invention, and simulate the communication operations of the nodes based on the pipe technology to form simulated nodes.

[0056] Among them, the step of simulating the communication operations of the nodes in the initialized blockchain network based on the pipe technology to form simulated nodes includes the following steps:

[0057] S201. Change the data packet distribution method of the initialized blockchain network according to the received simulated network type information.

[0058] S202. The nodes in the initialized blockchain network perform communication operations according to the data packet distribution method, and simulate the communication operations of the nodes based on the pipe technology to form simulated nodes.

[0059] Preferably, the simulated network type includes a memory pipe communication network and a named pipe communication network.

[0060] Preferably, the communication operations of the nodes include: connection establishment, message sending, message reading, and connection closing.

[0061] Specifically, if the user selects the memory pipe communication network method, two file descriptors will be created for each process to perform read and write operations on the data.

[0062] If the named pipe communication network method is selected, the node needs to create two FIFO files, and use the mkfifo function to obtain the file descriptors fd_read and fd_write for reading and writing to perform communication between nodes;

[0063] Next, the node will operate within the selected in-memory pipe communication network or named pipe communication network. The main life cycle of the node includes three states, namely: Initializing state, Running state, and Closed state;

[0064] Initializing state: Creating a node in the initializing state requires two steps: allocating the required resources and registering the network protocol. The resources allocated to each node include the data folder allowed for the node to operate, registering the remote procedure call (RPC) service provided externally, and the key-value database that can be read and written. After completing the resource allocation, the next step is to define the network layer protocol that the newly created node can run, such as the node discovery protocol and data communication protocol described above.

[0065] Running state: After the resource allocation is in place and the network protocol registration is completed, the newly created node is ready to start at any time. The started node will continuously execute the specified network layer protocol until the protocol runs to completion. A node in the running state cannot register any network layer protocol again.

[0066] Closed state: A node in the closed state will release all resources it occupies. The specific resources released depend on the state of the node before it is closed. A node in the initializing state that is closed will release all allocated system resources. A node in the running state will also close all network connections and the running RPC services in addition to releasing system resources.

[0067] During the operation of the node, operations such as connection establishment (Connect), message sending (Send), message reading (Read), and connection closing (Close) will be performed based on the data in the communication network. The operations of connection establishment (Connect), message sending (Send), message reading (Read), and connection closing (Close) are common operations of the node. Any network layer protocol running in a blockchain system can be implemented through these four common operations. Therefore, by simulating these four common operations through an in-memory pipe or named pipe, it can be used as the underlying communication link.

[0068] S3. According to the received communication coding information, change the communication coding method of the simulation node to complete the update of the blockchain network.

[0069] Specifically, since general formats such as JSON have low encoding efficiency and are not conducive to scenarios like simulation environments that require frequent large - scale data exchanges. Moreover, the data structure for communication between blockchain nodes is clear, the specification is explicit, the changes are extremely few, and the readability is low, making it suitable for a higher - encoding - efficiency solution. Therefore, a recursive length prefix encoding scheme is adopted to encode communication data. Before each node communicates, this encoding scheme is first used for encoding. The recursive length prefix encoding scheme can encode any nested binary data array, and there are only two data types, namely: strings and lists. Users send communication encoding information to the blockchain system, and the blockchain system receives the communication encoding information, changing the communication encoding method of the simulation node to complete the update of the blockchain network.

[0070] Among them, the changing of the communication encoding method of the simulation node according to the received communication encoding information to complete the update of the blockchain network includes:

[0071] After receiving the communication encoding information encoded using the recursive length prefix encoding, change the communication encoding method of the simulation node to complete the update of the blockchain network. Among them, the simulation node uses the recursive length prefix encoding method for encoding before communication, and the recursive length prefix encoding can encode any nested binary data array.

[0072] Preferably, the encoding steps include:

[0073] S301, detect the data type of the communication of the simulation node, perform an encoding operation on the data based on the detected data type, and package the encoded data into a block. Among them, the data types include strings and word lists;

[0074] S302, verify the block, and after verification, add the block to the ledger of each simulation node.

[0075] Specifically, the blockchain system detects the data type of the communication of the simulation node and performs an encoding operation on the data based on the detected data type;

[0076] If the detected data type is a string, the encoding operation process is as follows: If the length of the string to be passed into the blockchain network by the simulation node is less than or equal to 5, the encoding result is the array itself, plus 128 as a prefix. If the length of the string to be passed into the blockchain network by the simulation node is greater than 55, the first value of the encoding result is 183 (128 + 55) plus the length of the encoding of the array length, then the encoding of the array length itself, and finally the encoding of the string;

[0077] If the detected data type is a word list, the encoding operation process is as follows: If the length of the data list is less than 55, the first bit of the encoding result is the encoding length of 192 plus the length of the list, and then the encodings of each sub-list are connected in sequence; If the length of the data list exceeds 55, the first bit of the encoding result is the encoding length of 247 (192 + 55) plus the length of the list, then the encoding of the list itself, and finally the encodings of the sub-lists are connected in sequence;

[0078] Finally, verify the block. After verification, add the block to the ledger of each simulation node, and finally obtain a blockchain network simulation system to complete the update of the blockchain network.

[0079] The advantages of this method are:

[0080] (1) According to the implemented prototype system, using this method can simulate any number of Ethereum nodes within the range allowed by the memory, avoiding the losses caused by the unnecessary encapsulation of data packets by the network layer and the transport layer; In addition, using pipes to simulate network communication avoids the influence of the operating system on the sending of network packets, and can more accurately implement the simulation of traffic control, packet loss rate, and delay jitter of the connections between nodes; By cutting off the connections between any specified nodes and observing the changes in the connections in the peer-to-peer network, hot nodes in the network can be found. Cutting off the network connections of hot nodes can simulate various attacks that may occur in the blockchain system and guide the design of the peer-to-peer network of the blockchain system in the real environment.

[0081] (2) In traditional simulation technologies, in order to simulate an environment similar to the communication of blockchain nodes in reality, it is necessary to use local loopback addresses and occupy local ports to implement the simulation of the peer-to-peer network. This results in the network communication between nodes depending on the network interface of the operating system, and the number of node simulations is limited by the local available ports. In the simulation of the Ethereum network, the pipeline technology will be explored to directly simulate a synchronous and full-duplex network connection in memory to avoid the limitations of traditional local socket communication according to the characteristics of the simulation environment; The network protocol of the Ethereum system will also be deeply studied, and all network communication interfaces will be replaced with simulation links; Finally, a variety of network topology generation algorithms will be designed to quickly build various simulation networks such as bus-shaped, ring-shaped, and star-shaped.

[0082] (3) The finally obtained blockchain network simulation system can be used to test the performance characteristics of a variety of different algorithms, evaluate the data processing capabilities and overall performance of different blockchain platforms, and solve the problem of difficult unified evaluation of algorithms caused by differences in algorithm principles and application scenarios. This is crucial for the in-depth study of key blockchain technologies, helping developers analyze bottlenecks, understand limitations, make efficient decisions, and the self-optimization of private blockchain platforms.
