when i look onto website https://named-data.net/codebase/platform/ , 
it's not obvious. But , you're right. I will refer to github 
repositories activity.

Ok, i got it. According to me, it s important to have a simulation 
software. But i understand , it's required time, human an development 
effort  to maintain it.

Ok, so with this version, it doesn't require to get standard library 
client. It's included, isn't it ?

Ok, i set up a vm with 20 cores. It will be enough to run comfortably ndnd.

Thanks. When i will finish set up ndnd node, i will look deeply and 
surely join testbed. Otherwise, i need to understantd more all mechanism 
and strategies chosen on ndn implementation.
