PARSEC - Protocol for Asynchronous, Reliable, Secure and Efficient Consensus

Crate	Documentation	Linux/OS X	Windows	Issues

There is a basic example available in the examples folder. This allows you to simulate a network of peers each running the Parsec protocol to reach consensus on a number of random network events. There is also the ability to dump each peer's gossip graph in dot format to a file in your system temp dir. This can be enabled via the feature dump-graphs. So, e.g. to run the example for a network of five peers and ten network events:

cargo run --example=basic --features=dump-graphs -- --peers=5 --events=10

To generate SVG graphs from the resulting dot files:

dot -Tsvg *.dot -O
