ndnSIM documentation

This website includes the ndnSIM documentation and is intended to help the community use the simulator for NDN experimentation. It is not intended to present the principles or the design of the NDN architecture and communication model. We invite you to join our mailing list to see and participate in discussions about ndnSIM implementation and simulations in general (mailing list archives).

Getting Started Introduction what is ndnSIM, how to get support, and what is in the package Downloading and Compiling ndnSIM requirements, downloading, compiling, simulating FAQs frequently asked questions (with answers!) Simulation examples basic tutorial examples Best practises best practises on using ndnSIM	Advanced Topics ndnSIM API documentation generated documentation of ndnSIM API Parallelize simulations using OpenMPI how to use OpenMPI to parallelize execution of simulation scenarios Simulating real applications guide on how to simulate real application that are written against ndn-cxx library
ndnSIM tutorial ndnSIM helpers very important components of ndnSIM for writing simulation scenarios Content Store several different build-in content store implementations: LRU, LFU, and others Forwarding Strategies experimenting with different build-in and custom Interest/Data forwarding strategies ndnSIM applications reference applications for network-leverl evaluations Obtaining metrics obtaining and visualizing metrics from simulation runs	ndnSIM Versions ndnSIM 2.9 the latest version ndnSIM 2.8 ndnSIM 2.7 ndnSIM 2.6 ndnSIM 2.5 ndnSIM 2.4 ndnSIM 2.3 ndnSIM 2.2 ndnSIM 2.1 ndnSIM 2.0 ndnSIM 1.0
