[ndnSIM] concerning producer application

[Spyridon (Spyros) Mastorakis]

Hi guys,

you can simulate this behavior, that is you can extend the producer application to produce chunks of varying size or even schedule events for sending data packets if you want to simulate the delay of fetching data from a disk or a repo. You can also create a big buffer, create and sign data in advance to “simulate” the disk storage.

It is kind of hard to access parts of the physical file system though, since all the application instances share the same local file system (this is imposed by NS3). You can still do it, but you have to be really careful and make sure that you access unique parts of the file system.

Hope that this helps!

However, it seems that in reality nodes have a kind of repository, e.g. a hard disk, in which they maintain the data. To my understanding, data should be copied from the repository to the cache upon arrival of a new interest message. How this has been taken into account in ndnSIM ?. Looks like we do not have access to the repository.
