# P2P messaging simulation toolkit
---
This repository holds different simulators for exploring and researching p2p networks and messaging related to Status.
Original intent of these simulators is to provide stats and resulting traces/logs for further analysis and visualization.
## Design
```
+------------------+ +----------------+ +-------------+ +------------------+
| Choose | | Run nodes in | | | | |
| network topology |---- simulated | | | | |
+------------------+ | environment | | Propagate | | Collect network |
| - in-memory |---- message(s) |---- events & |
+------------------+ | - exec | | | | generate stats |
| Choose |---- - docker | | | | |
| Simulator | | | | | | |
+------------------+ +----------------+ +-------------+ +------------------+
```
### Simulators support
| Simulator | Description | State |
|---|---|---|
| **WhisperV6** | Master branch if go-ethereum Whisper implementation | Done |
| **Gossip** | Naive gossip p2p propagation | Done |
| PSS | Swarm's PSS messaging | TBD |
### Network environments support
| Node type | Description | State |
|---|---|---|
| **In-Memory** | Done | Single node in-memory network | Done |
| Exec | Single node native binary network with localhost connection | TBD |
| Docker | Docker-based network | TBD |
