ICN - ndnSIM

Before cloning this repository follow the following steps:-

1. Install libboost dependency for NDN-Sim. Make sure that all other version of boost libraries (-dev packages) are removed, otherwise compilation might fail.

   sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boost-latest/ppa
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev

2. Install other dependencies.

   sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pygraphviz python-kiwi
   sudo apt-get install python-pygoocanvas python-gnome2
   sudo apt-get install python-rsvg ipython

3. Clone NS-3 and NDN-Sim.

   mkdir ndnSIM
   cd ndnSIM
   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://git.ucsd.edu/dhsharma/ndnSIM.git ns-3/src/ndnSIM

4. Compile NS-3 with NDN-Sim.

   cd ns-3
   ./waf configure --enable-examples
   ./waf
   If waf configure fails do this:
   sudo apt-get install libcrypto+ sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev

5. Run an example senario to test the build.

   ./waf --run=ndn-simple
   OR
   ./waf --run=ndn-grid

A new release of NS-3 based Named Data Networking (NDN) simulator
went through extensive refactoring and rewriting. The key new features of the new
version:

• Packet format changed to NDN Packet Specification

• ndnSIM uses implementation of basic NDN primitives from
  ndn-cxx library (NDN C++ library with eXperimental eXtensions)

• All NDN forwarding and management is implemented directly using source code of
  Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon (NFD)

• Allows simulation of real applications
  written against ndn-cxx library
