# Lightning Network Simulation #

This repository is a majors dissertation project for Aberystwyth University. The aim of this project is educational.

Please, read the [Wiki](https://github.com/whiteyhat/Lightning-Network-Simulation/wiki).

## Current status

* Simulation tool: Stable ✅

* Analysis tool: Stable ✅

## How it works: ##

There is a list of pre-made networks :

 - Tiny (10 nodes)

 - Small (25 nodes)

 - Medium (50 nodes)

 - Big (500 nodes)

All the defualt networks have nodes well-connected. However, you can create a new Lightning Network and choose a different network topology by selecting:

- Number of Nodes

- Number of channels per node

When a network is loaded. You can start the simulation by clicking **Edit>Start** and random nodes start to generate transactions along the network.

## Set up: ##

* Get the source code.

* Make sure you have JDK SE 8.

* You can use the main folder as an Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA workspace.

* Build the maven projects.

* Run the GUI suite **com.carlos.lnsim.lnsim.GUI**

* If you do not get the simulation up and running please create an issue ticket.
