Block[Chain] Node classes for Mininet.

BCNodes provides a simple abstraction for interacting with Block[Chains]. Local nodes are simply one or more processes on the local machine.

BCNode

BCNode is a Node that is running an block[chain] application.

EthNode

EthNode is a BCNode that is running an Geth application.

BtcNode

BtcNode is a BCNode that is running an Bitcoin application.

POWNode

POWNode is a BCNode that is running an POWBlockChain.

QNode

QNode is a BCNode that is running an QuantumBlockChain application.

Blockchain Mininet network modeling

Mininet's custom setup for BAL classes balmn.py adds several types of hosts:

  • btc -- bcnode.BtcNode
  • eth -- bcnode.EthNode
  • pow -- bcnode.POWNode
  • qkd -- bcnode.QNode

For example:

mn --custom=balmn.py --host=btc

Testing -- creating of simple network topology (2 nodes connected to single switch), starting of servers, running of simple clients tests, switching to Mininet's CLI, stopping of servers after exiting from CLI:

./bcmn_test.py [host_type]

For example:

./bcmn_test.py pow
