Abstract

Ethereum relies on a peer-to-peer overlay network to propagate information. The knowledge of Ethereum network topology holds the key to understanding Ethereum's security, availability, and user anonymity. However, an Ethereum network's topology is stored in individual nodes' internal routing tables, measuring which poses challenges and remains an open research problem in the existing literature.
