| Mini-NDN cluster edition |
| ======================== |
| |
| Mini-NDN cluster edition uses the experimental Mininet cluster edition. |
| **Make sure that you can run the Mininet cluster edition by following |
| [these instructions](https://github.com/mininet/mininet/wiki/Cluster-Edition-Prototype)**. |
| Mini-NDN will use the "mininet" username created in Mininet cluster edition setup. |
| |
| ## Mini-NDN cluster options |
| |
| To run Mini-NDN cluster on `localhost` and another server `server1` with |
| the guided node placement strategy (default), the following command can be used: |
| |
| sudo minindn --cluster=localhost,server1 --place-list=1,3 |
| |
| Note that `place-list` specifies the number of nodes to be placed on the corresponding servers |
| of the cluster. |
| In the example, one node will be placed on `localhost` and three nodes on `server1`. |
| Unless specified, the default 4 node topology is used. |
| Another placement can be `roundRobin` placement algorithm from Mininet. |
| This does not require a place-list. |
| |
| sudo minindn --cluster=localhost,server1 --placement roundRobin |
| |
| By default the tunnel type used is SSH, but GRE tunnel can be specified by `--tunnel-type=gre` |
