nodemanager 0.1.1

Creating a peer-to-peer network

nodemanager

Getting started

The aim of this project is to create a p2p network using the libp2p library in rust.

To run this project you need to have Rust and Python installed on your machine.

Installation

Rust

Python

To install Python, follow this link.

Start the project

Once you've installed rust, you'll need to follow these steps to launch the project:

1. Go to the project folder

cd project

2. Create and active a python virtual environment

python -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate

2. Install maturin for building and publishing Rust-based Python packages with minimal configuration

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Build and execute the module

Example: simulation

maturin develop

python main.py --help

Expected

usage: main.py [-h] [--static_network static] [--enable_peersampling peersampling] [--node N] [--cycles M] [--multi Multithreading]

Simulation of decentralized Learning.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --static_network static
                        Launch a static network. 0 for False and 1 for True.
  --enable_peersampling peersampling
                        Enables or disables peersampling. 0 for False and 1 for True.
  --node N              If you're not running a static network, it's important to specify the number of nodes in your network. This number must be greater than 5.
  --cycles M            The number of application cycles.
  --multi Multithreading
                      Used to decide whether to run the simulation on a single thread or on several threads. 0 for False and 1 for True.

Then you can lunch a simulation:

python main.py --static_network 0 --enable_peersampling 0 --node 20 --cycles 10 --multi 0

You can observe the application logs in the log.log file. This contains logs for all nodes. And you can see the config_sampling.json file in the tree, which represents the network/sampling configuration file.
