Kademlia Simulator

Overview

This is a Kademlia Simulator that was used in the research project for the new Service Discovery in Ethereum 2.0 (Discv5) (available at: https://github.com/datahop/p2p-service-discovery). The simulator is built on top of PeerSim and it is based on the Kademlia implementation from Daniele Furlan and Maurizio Bonani that can be found here.

To run the simulator it is necessary to have Java and Maven installed. For Ubuntu systems just run:

$ sudo apt install maven default-jdk

How to run it

To execut a simulation it is necessary to call the run.sh, with a configuration file as a parameter. For example:

$ ./run.sh config/kademlia.cfg
