Traffic Generator For NDN (ndn-traffic-generator)

This tool is designed to send and receive large files in an NDN network.

Prerequisites

Compiling and running ndn-traffic-generator requires the following dependencies:

1. C++ Boost Libraries version >= 1.48 http://www.boost.org

   On Ubuntu 12.04:

    sudo apt-get install libboost1.48-all-dev
   

   On Ubuntu 13.10 and later

    sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
   

   On OSX with macports

    sudo port install boost
   

   On OSX with brew

    brew install boost
   

On other platforms Boost Libraries can be installed from the packaged version for the distribution, if the version matches requirements, or compiled from source

2. ndn-cxx library https://github.com/named-data/ndn-cxx

   For detailed installation instructions, please refer README file

1. Compile & Installation Instructions:

./waf configure
./waf
sudo ./waf install

2. Tool Run Instructions & Command Line Options:

Usage: ndnfilesender <path to sender>/filename

Usage:  ndnfilerequest <path to sender>/filename

Presently the filename that needs to be send has to be entered in the src/file-sender.cpp at onInputfile() only and then have to be recompiled and installed again and the name of the file which will be stored at the receiver side also has to be entered in src/file-requestor.cpp itself. This is just the optimization which needs to be done which can take it from the command line args only.

• These tools need not be used together and can be used individually as well.
• Please refer sample configuration files provided for details on how to create your own.
• Use command line options shown above to adjust traffic configuration.
