The security and performance of blockchain systems such as Bitcoin critically rely on the P2P network. This paper aims to investigate blockchain P2P networks. We explore the topologies, peer discovery, and data forwarding and examine the security and performance of the P2P network. Further, we formulate an optimization problem to study the theoretical limit of the performance and provide a solution to achieve optimal performance in a blockchain P2P network.
