The simulation source code in our paper MERCURY: Fast Transaction Broadcast in High Performance Blockchain Systems(Accepted by INFOCOM 2023) is available here.
MERCURY shortens the transaction propagation delay using two techniques: a virtual coordinate system and an early outburst strategy. Our simulation results show that MERCURY outperforms prior propagation schemes and decreases overall propagation latency by up to 44% compared with Random mechanism. When implemented in Conflux, an open-source high-throughput blockchain system, MERCURY reduces transaction propagation latency by over 50% with less than 5% bandwidth overhead. Please review our paper for more details.
