[Nfd-dev] Autoconfig for local WiFi network

[Gusev, Peter]

Hi Pedro,

Thanks, this is interesting, I'll take a look.
Though, this means everyone connects to the server. is there a way to do it without a server?

example usecase: we open our laptops during hackathon, setup wifi network and want to use ndncon for text chat.

Hi Peter,

Yes autoconfig will help you do that, you can start the ndn-autoconfig-server application on the server (using the faceURI as argument http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/manpages/ndn-autoconfig-server.html) and then run ndn-autoconfig on the consumers.

This procedure will cause the consumers to search for the hub in your network by 1st Multicast, 2nd DNS query, if any of them had success than two prefixes are automatically created /ndn and /localhop/nfd (http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/manpages/ndn-autoconfig.html#ndn-autoconfig).

We also worked for this functionality on Android at the 2nd Hackathon. The code will be available very soon and folks can test and run also on NFD-Android.

Hope this can help,

Hi dev team,

Once we tested NDN over Ethernet on our local “testbed” - three laptops with NFD connected to the same network - after creating ethernet faces, ndncon instances running on each machine “magically” discovered each other and were able to communicate via chat/audio/video.

However, I’m curious about feasibility of getting similar effect on the local WiFi networks (and whether autoconfig can help with that or such discovery should become a part of autoconfig):

Say, I have three laptops with NFD connected to the same WiFi network with no Internet access. If I run autoconfig on all three laptops - will they “magically” discover each other and create routes? If so, which routes will be created?
If no, what precludes from implementing such “local autodiscovery"?

Thanks,
