[Mini-NDN] Emulations using Wifi

[Saurab Dulal (sdulal)]

Hi Philipp,


<https://github.com/named-data/mini-ndn/tree/master/minindn/wifi>

Wifi<https://github.com/named-data/mini-ndn/tree/master/minindn/wifi> is now the part of Mini-NDN main repository. Yes, the documentation has not been released yet, it is still a work in progress. You can refer to this example: https://github.com/named-data/mini-ndn/blob/master/examples/wifi/wifi_ping.py and the wifi code<https://github.com/named-data/mini-ndn/tree/master/minindn/wifi> to get some ideas.


Mobility and broadcast are supported by the wifi module. Mini-NDN wifi is based on mininet-wifi (https://github.com/intrig-unicamp/mininet-wifi) so, most of the functionality supported by mininet-wifi is also supported Mini-NDN Wifi.


Mininet-Wifi supports a few propagations loss models (https://mininet-wifi.github.io/propagation/), I believe they should be supported by the Mini-NDN wifi as well, but I am not entirely sure. Someone from Wifi developer team needs to chip in here.


Best,

Saurab

Hi everyone,

a couple of months ago, I saw that the MiniNDN Github repository has a
branch called "wifi". I guess this branch is somehow related to
emulating wifi networks, but I haven't found documentation about this
functionality. So, I am curious whether MiniNDN provides Wifi
functionality, and if it does, to what degree Wifi is supported. So for
instance, is it possible to emulate a WiFi broadcast media where
multiple nodes hear packets on the same "link"? If yes, another question
would be if propagation loss models and mobility is supported?

Thanks,
Philipp
