<p class="">OK, I don't think that you can interact with the mininet controller, or let's say I don't think it makes a lot of sense. I don't whether this is meaningful or no (I am not the MiniNDN expert), but you could get information about connectivity from
the "net" object in MiniNDN. You could create a controller class that observes connectivity, and whenever something changes, the controller can change the forwarding behavior of individual nodes using "nfdc". The implementation of that shouldn't be a big deal.</p>
<p class="">Thanks,<br class="">

<p class="">I think your terminology is referring to MiniNet. In MiniNDN, we do not differentiate between controllers, switches and hosts - in MiniNDN we only have one type of nodes, which is "node".</p>
<p class="">What do you need the controller and the switches for? In MiniNDN you can directly configure all routing/forwarding information in the MiniNDN scenario, as far as I know, there's no need for a controller.</p>
<p class="">Not sure if you already have found the MiniNDN guide: <a href="https://minindn.memphis.edu/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">
https://minindn.memphis.edu/</a>. Maybe have a look at the samples.</p>

<p class="">Hi Yassine,</p>
<p class="">thanks for reaching out.</p>
<p class="">I am not completely sure if I understood your question correctly. Do you want to use an existing routing protocol in your topology, or do you want to develop a new routing protocol?</p>
<p class=""><b class="">In case you want to use an existing routing protocol you have two possibilities:</b></p>
<p class="">i) Use NLSR. Therefore, you need to install NLSR on every node of your topology. Thereafter, nodes can advertise the routes they are serving using nlsrc, and thats it. You can find an example here:
<a href="https://github.com/phylib/dnl-experiment/blob/d55a8931ac457e47d68b5799ccb26209ffef843f/experiment.py#L98-L105" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">
https://github.com/phylib/dnl-experiment/blob/d55a8931ac457e47d68b5799ccb26209ffef843f/experiment.py#L98-L105</a></p>
<p class="">ii) Use the static routing helper: That's not a routing protocol, but helps you to install all the routes you need for your experiment. See this example:
<a href="https://github.com/phylib/dnl-experiment/blob/9049629301984b82e7f5ee21800f74a471fb8b65/experiment.py#L91-L95" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">
https://github.com/phylib/dnl-experiment/blob/9049629301984b82e7f5ee21800f74a471fb8b65/experiment.py#L91-L95</a></p>
<p class=""><b class="">If you want to develop you own routing protocol</b>, you need to develop your routing protocol and create a mini-ndn app when you want to use it in mini-ndn. Similar as done for NLSR (here:
<a href="https://github.com/named-data/mini-ndn/blob/master/minindn/apps/nlsr.py" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">
https://github.com/named-data/mini-ndn/blob/master/minindn/apps/nlsr.py</a>). When you want to use it, you should be able to do it similarly as when using NLSR.</p>
<p class="">I am neither a routing nor Mini-NDN expert. That's why I copied you to the Mini-NDN mailing list (<a href="https://www.lists.cs.ucla.edu/mailman/listinfo/mini-ndn" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">https://www.lists.cs.ucla.edu/mailman/listinfo/mini-ndn</a>).
Hope that people with more MiniNDN and routing experience can help out.</p>
<p class="">I hope that things got little clearer. In case anything is unclear, feel free to drop me a message.<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">Thanks,<br class="">
Philipp</p>
