In-Packet Bloom Filter (iBF) - 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://github.com/sharma-dhrv/ibf-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

1. Our work of porting semi-stateless forwarding using in-packet bloom filters is based on Christos Tsilopoulos’s Doctoral Thesis (http://mm.aueb.gr/phd_theses/2016_Tsilopoulos.pdf) and their research paper "C. Tsilopoulos, Y. Thomas and G. Xylomenos, 'Reducing Forwarding State in Content-Centric Networks with Semi-Stateless Forwarding' in Proc. of IEEE INFOCOM, pp. 2067-2075, 2014."

About ndnSIM

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
