Abstract

Blockchain is highly dependent on network topology and routing paths for efficient operation. The speed and effectiveness of mining are impacted by network topology, as a well-defined routing path improves the speed of mining by the faster exchange of data for verification. However, high traffic on the path, caused by the exchange of messages among the miners leads to delays in the routing path and lengthens the time needed for mining data. Moreover, the dynamic addition and termination of miners from the network affect the topology, further contributing to delays in the mining process and transactions. To address these challenges, we present a novel system called FlexRout that dynamically predicts the optimal routing path to increase the speed of the mining process. It firstly predicts miners (nodes) who can leave mining by checking their resource availability. Simultaneously, it also grants a reward or a penalty depending upon the right or wrong prediction made respectively. Experimental results demonstrate that FlexRout can significantly reduce traffic by almost 49% and latency by 50%.

期刊介绍： The proposed journal, called the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering (TNSE), is committed to timely publishing of peer-reviewed technical articles that deal with the theory and applications of network science and the interconnections among the elements in a system that form a network. In particular, the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering publishes articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks at the fundamental level. The types of networks covered include physical or engineered networks, information networks, biological networks, semantic networks, economic networks, social networks, and ecological networks. Aimed at discovering common principles that govern network structures, network functionalities and behaviors of networks, the journal seeks articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks. Another trans-disciplinary focus of the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering is the interactions between and co-evolution of different genres of networks.
