The ndnSIM 2.0 is NS-3 module that implements Named Data Networking (NDN) communication model, the clean slate Internet design. ndnSIM is specially optimized for simulation purposes and has a cleaner and more extensible internal structure comparing to the existing NDN implementation (NDNx).
We invite you to join our mailing list to see and participate in discussions about ndnSIM implementation and simulations in general (mailing list archives).
