Modern blockchains need fast, reliable propagation to balance security and throughput. Virtual-coordinate methods speed dissemination but rely on slow iterative updates, leaving nodes out of sync. We present BlockSDN-VC, a transaction-broadcast protocol that centralises coordinate computation and forwarding control in an SDN controller, delivering global consistency, minimal path stretch and rapid response to churn or congestion. In geo-distributed simulations, BlockSDN-VC cuts median latency by up to 62% and accelerates convergence fourfold over state-of-the-art schemes with under 3% control-plane overhead. In a real blockchain environment, BlockSDN-VC boosts confirmed-transaction throughput by 17% under adversarial workloads, requiring no modifications to existing clients.

摘要

Modern blockchains need fast, reliable propagation to balance security and throughput. Virtual-coordinate methods speed dissemination but rely on slow iterative updates, leaving nodes out of sync. We present BlockSDN-VC, a transaction-broadcast protocol that centralises coordinate computation and forwarding control in an SDN controller, delivering global consistency, minimal path stretch and rapid response to churn or congestion. In geo-distributed simulations, BlockSDN-VC cuts median latency by up to 62% and accelerates convergence fourfold over state-of-the-art schemes with under 3% control-plane overhead. In a real blockchain environment, BlockSDN-VC boosts confirmed-transaction throughput by 17% under adversarial workloads, requiring no modifications to existing clients.
