BCmaster (Prism)

A real-time blockchain monitor and comprehensive analyzing tool.
The current version can conduct the benchmark of eight blockchain projects:

• Hyperledger Fabric (v1.1-1.4)
  
• Hyperledger Sawtooth
  
• Hyperledger Burrow
  
• Hyperledger Iroha
  
• Ethereum
  
• Parity
  
• IOTA
  
• EOS
  

From the perspective of metrics, Prism currently covers:

• Throughput (transactions per second)
  
• Transaction confirmation latency (second)
  
• Resource Efficiency (CPU, DISK I/O, Network, Memory, Power...)
  
• Stability (From both peer-level and network-level)
  
• Security Level (Under Sybil attacks and DDoS attacks)
  
• Interactivity (Data processing and encryption)
  

Description

This tool is based on docker technology.
The mainly involved images contain cadvisor, prometheus, and grafana.
The data flow is cadvisor to Prometheus to Grafana, which is a famous framework for cluster monitoring.

• Attacks: This folder contains the codes for launching attacks, including DDoS attacks and Sybil attacks. Note that there also exist several third-party tools that can realize the attacks, e.g., Hibernet and slowhttptest.
• Private-chain benchmark results: This folder contains the results of our practical benchmarking on self-deployed private blockchain networks.
  
• Public-chain benchmark results collection: Since we cannot conduct benchmarking on public blockchain network. This folder contains the benchmarking results of public blockchain networks collected from public-available blockchain exporters.
  
• ATG, ATP, ATS: They refer to Automatic Transaction Genenator, Packer, or Sender, which are used to generate benchmarking workload.

Tips

The resources for deploying private blockchain networks, such as hyperledger fabric, Sawtooth, Burrow, etc., can be found at Lancelot1998's other repositories. 😊

• Fabric-10-node: Contain some scripts and configuration files for deploying a 10-node Hyperledger Fabric (v1.0-v1.4) network.
  
• Burrow-10-node: Contain some scripts and configuration files for deploying a 10-node Hyperledger Burrow network.
  
• Sawtooth-10-node: Contain some scripts and configuration files for deploying a 10-node Hyperledger Sawtooth (PoET) network.
  
• Iroha-10-node: Contain some scripts and configuration files for deploying a 10-node Hyperledger Iroha network.
  

Notice

• This is the 1st version of BCmaster, for detailed usage guidance, please wait for our update!!!
  
• Some of the statistics in the Fig. 3 of paper "Effective Scaling of Blockchain Beyond Consensus Innovations and Moore's Law: Challenges and Opportunities", in IEEE Systems Journal, can be found in folder public-chain benchmark results collection!!!
