[ndnSIM] Calling for more of your works

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Shenglan,

About the documentation.  You can check out http://ndnsim.net/ with extensive documentation of ndnSIM and several basic examples.

As for the cache replacement policy.  I'm not quite sure how a particular entry in the case is related to PIT:  PIT stores interests, but content store stores ContentObjects after a particular Interest got satisfied.  Would you mind explaining more what do you mean by that?

Sincerely,
Alex

You first need to define policy traits (see examples in utils/trie/*-policy.h and in model/cs/custom-policies/*.h) and then "instantiate" specialized version of content store, similar how it is done in model/cs/content-store-impl.cc (you don't need to put code in this file, you can have it in your extension).

We also made available scenarios that we were using in the paper (at the moment only congestion-related scenarios are available, but we will put up others eventually) on the github: http://github.com/cawka/ndnSIM-comcom-stateful-fw
