Custom version of NS-3 (https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ns-3-dev/tree/2c66f4c02008805eaa7f2a21b88162b4f46e5ec2) and ndnSIM 2.1 needs to be installed.
The code should also work with the latest version of ndnSIM, but it is not guaranteed.
mkdir ns-dev
cd ns-dev
git clone https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ns-3-dev ns-3
git checkout 2c66f4c02008805eaa7f2a21b88162b4f46e5ec2
git clone https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM ns-3/src/ndnSIM
git clone https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndn-ping-scenario my-simulations
cd ns-3
./waf configure -d optimized
./waf
sudo ./waf install
cd ../my-simulations
After which you can proceed to compile and run the code
For more information how to install NS-3 and ndnSIM, please refer to http://ndnsim.net website.
To configure in optimized mode without logging (default):
./waf configure
To configure in optimized mode with scenario logging enabled (logging in NS-3 and ndnSIM modules will still be disabled, but you can see output from NS_LOG* calls from your scenarios and extensions):
./waf configure --logging
To configure in debug mode with all logging enabled
./waf configure --debug
If you have installed NS-3 in a non-standard location, you may need to set up PKG_CONFIG_PATH
variable.
You can run the ping scenario by typing
./build/ndn-cxx-simple-ping
or using waf
./waf --run ndn-cxx-simple-ping
If NS-3 is installed in a non-standard location, on some platforms (e.g., Linux) you need to specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./build/ndn-cxx-simple-ping
or
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./waf --run ndn-cxx-simple-ping
To run scenario using debugger, use the following command:
gdb --args ./build/ndn-cxx-simple-ping
The visualizer is not available, since the scenarios simulating a real application cannot use any GUI operations.
