[Ndn-interest] Ndn client to retrieve and read file hosted by ndn server

[Thompson, Jeff]

Hi Ishta,

A file is represented by segmented content. In NDN, we say “consumer” and “publisher” which is not tied to specific servers or end addresses like “client” and “server”. The consumer needs to reassemble the segmented content. PyNDN has examples that use a simple SegmentFetcher to reassemble the segmented content published by NFD when it is asked for a list of RIB entries:
https://github.com/named-data/PyNDN2/blob/master/examples/test_list_rib.py

For publishing segmented content created from files, you can look at NDNFS:

Thanks,

Subject: [Ndn-interest] Ndn client to retrieve and read file hosted by ndn server

Hi All,

I am trying to write a NDN client python code that uses PyNDN libraries to access and read files hosted by a NDN server. The PyNDN github has some sample client programs but none specifically dealing with file transfer.
Has anyone come across any such NDN client application that I can atleast use ideas from?

​Thanks,

Ishita
