Abstract(in English) In a blockchain, many nodes are randomly interconnected to form a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, and each node broadcasts information to all other nodes in the P2P network. This is done in a flooding fashion, where each node that receives information forwards it to its neighbors. Therefore, information that has already been received may be received multiple times through different neighbors, resulting in excessive consumption of communication resources. This research aims to solve the problem of communication resource consumption in Bitcoin networks by using the Plumtree algorithm, which is known as an efficient broadcast method. In this simulation experiment, we implemented Plumtree's Eager push, Lazy push, and other operations in SimBlock and performed simulations.Simulation experiments show that the proposed method can reduce the number of messages compared to the conventional method, even including tree repair messages after the completion of tree construction.
