Abstract

Blockchain is becoming more and more popular in various fields. Since the information transmission mode of the blockchain is data broadcasting, the traditional TCP/IP network cannot support the blockchain system well, but the Named-Data Networking (NDN) could be a good choice because of its multi-path forwarding and intra-network caching functions. In this article, we propose a new blockchain information transmission acceleration strategy (AITS) combining with graph theory and probability theory based on the NDN architecture. We select some more important nodes in the network as “secondary nodes”, and give them more bandwidth and cache space to assist the NDN network in data transmission. In order to select the correct node as the secondary node, we present a method to calculate the number of secondary nodes, and give the function to calculate the importance of each node. The simulation results show that in complex networks, the proposed method has superior performance in accelerating information transmission and reducing data overhead.
