This is a custom version of NFD integrated into ndnSIM 2.0 with following additions:
- Ability to use strategy-specific parameters
- Additional forwarding strategies
- Additional interface estimator classes
The source code is currently still in alpha stage and for experimentation purposes only.
The installation procedure is straight-forward and similar to the one of ndnSIM:
# Download sources from github
mkdir ndnSIM
cd ndnSIM
git clone https://github.com/named-data/ndn-cxx.git ndn-cxx
git clone https://github.com/cawka/ns-3-dev-ndnSIM.git ns-3
git clone https://github.com/cawka/pybindgen.git pybindgen
git clone https://github.com/schneiderklaus/ndnSIM ns-3/src/ndnSIM
# Compile and install the ndn-cxx library
cd ndnSIM/ndn-cxx
./waf configure
./waf
sudo ./waf install
# Compile NS-3 with the ndnSIM module
cd <ns-3-folder>
./waf configure --disable-python --enable-examples -d debug
./wafAn example scenario is included in "examples/multipath-example.cc" together with its topology "examples/topologies/topo-multipath.txt"
# Link example scenario to scratch folder
cd <ns-3-folder>
ln -s ../src/ndnSIM/examples/multipath-example.cc scratch/multipath-example.cc
# Optinal: Enable logging
export NS_LOG=nfd.LowestCostStrategy
# Run
./waf --run multipath-example
