Evaluation of ethereum end-to-end transaction

Abstract

Ethereum is a conventional but evolving blockchain approach to support smart contract by enabling Turingcomplete computations at miners. With smart contract as a back-end support, anyone can publish their Decentralized Applications (DApps), thus transfer the existing Internet services/applications onto the blockchain.The requirements of service quality for different services can be quite different, varying from bandwidth sensitive and end-to-end transaction latency sensitive. This paper experimentally evaluates the Ethereum end-to-end latency and the factors that affect latency on the Ethereum main-net.
