NDN-DPDK: High-Speed Named Data Networking Forwarder

NDN-DPDK is a set of high-speed Named Data Networking (NDN) programs developed with the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). Included are a network forwarder, a traffic generator, and a file server.

This software is developed at the Smart Connected Systems Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It is in beta stage and will continue to be updated.
