[ndnSIM] How to use ndnSIM to simulate a cache policy?

[Alex Afanasyev]

Unfortunately, we don't have extensive documentation about it, only examples.

The example repository you're looking is indeed outdated, but the example can still be applied in the latest version of ndnSIM (may be with some modifications).

I would recommend you looking for examples in the latest ndnSIM codebase:
- https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM/tree/master/utils/trie <https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM/tree/master/utils/trie>
- https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM/tree/master/model/cs/custom-policies <https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM/tree/master/model/cs/custom-policies>
- https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM/blob/master/model/cs/content-store-with-probability.hpp <https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM/blob/master/model/cs/content-store-with-probability.hpp> and
- https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM/blob/master/model/cs/content-store-with-probability.cpp <https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM/blob/master/model/cs/content-store-with-probability.cpp>

You can also check out a slide deck (starting slide 34) that highlights steps to write custom cache policy: http://lasr.cs.ucla.edu/afanasyev/data/files/Afanasyev/07-ndnSIM-demo-Alex.pptx
