Dear all,
We are pleased to announce the initial public release (version 0.2.0) of
the NDN Forwarding Daemon (NFD). NFD is a network forwarder that
implements the Named Data Networking (NDN) protocol. More details about
NFD, release notes, HOWTOs, a FAQ and other useful resources are
available at NFD's official webpage (http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/0.2.0/).
Also available is the NFD developer's guide
(http://named-data.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/NFD-developer-guide.pdf),
which provides a detailed description of the implementation internals.
An important goal of NFD is to support experimentation with the NDN
architecture. Thus, the current release emphasizes **modularity** and
**extensibility** over performance to allow easy experimentation with
new protocol features, algorithms, data structures and applications. We
invite researchers to experiment with the existing code and submit
enhancements both in terms of performance and new architecture features.
This release is part of the new NDN Platform version 0.3
(http://named-data.net/releases/platform-0.3), which includes the
following components:
- The NDN Forwarding Daemon (NFD), version 0.2.0
http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/0.2.0/
- The ndn-cxx library, version 0.2.0
http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-cxx/0.2.0/
+ The NDN C++ library with eXperimental eXtensions (CXX)
+ The ndnsec security tools to manage security identities and
certificates
- The NDN Common Client libraries suite (NDN-CCL), version 0.3
http://named-data.net/releases/CCL-0.3
+ The NDN-CPP C++ library
+ The PyNDN2 Python library
+ The NDN-JS JavaScript library
+ (A Java library is coming soon)
- The Named Data Link State Routing Protocol (NLSR) version 0.1.0
http://named-data.net/doc/NLSR/0.1.0/
- The next generation of NDN repository (repo-ng)
http://github.com/named-data/repo-ng
- A Ping Application For NDN (ndn-tlv-ping) version 0.2.0
http://github.com/named-data/ndn-tlv-ping
- A Traffic Generator For NDN (ndn-traffic-generator) version 0.2.0
