[Ndn-interest] How to use NDN on real devices?

[Lan Wang (lanwang)]

Hi Otávio,

NLSR works only on point-to-point links right now.  You can set up UDP tunnels over Wifi links if you want to run NLSR for routing.  Alternatively, if you have a small and fixed network topology, you can use nfdc commands to set up the routes in each node manually.  You can run NDN on Ethernet/WiFii faces and Interests will reach the other nodes sharing the Ethernet/WiFi.

Hello everybody.
I've been working on a project that uses NDN. We are planning a practical demonstration and would like to know what are the possible strategies I have available to do this. That is, "common devices" (like personal computers) are generally based on TCP/IP, not NDN.

If I understand correctly, I just need to install ndn-cxx, NFD (Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon) and NLSR (Named Data Link State Routing) on the computer and I can already communicate using NDN. But I didn't understand exactly how. Would it be a kind of NDN over TCP/IP? Or tunneling? Or would it be "purely NDN" communication?

Also, if I install these components (ndn-cxx, NFD and NLSR), can I communicate over a wireless network? For example, 5 notebooks communicating via wi-fi. I ask this because it seems to me that support is for networks connected via cable (ethernet, perhaps).

Another point, can I communicate between the devices via the internet? How? Do you have an example available?

Also, I would like to know the possible workload to implement NDN in a topology with about 5 devices, maybe with a few routers.

The experience I have (even if very little) is with the mini-NDN. I'm currently trying to set the demonstrator over there.

Sorry for so many questions. Thank you very much in advance.

Att, Otávio A. R. da Cruz
