| **ndn-cxx** is a C++14 library implementing Named Data Networking (NDN) primitives |
| that can be used to write various NDN applications. The library is currently being |
| used by the following projects: |
| |
| * [**NFD** - NDN Forwarding Daemon](https://github.com/named-data/NFD) |
| * [**NLSR** - Named-data Link-State Routing protocol](https://github.com/named-data/NLSR) |
| * [**ndn-tools** - Essential NDN command-line tools](https://github.com/named-data/ndn-tools) |
| * [**ndn-svs** - State Vector Sync library](https://github.com/named-data/ndn-svs) |
| * [**PSync** - Partial and full Sync library](https://github.com/named-data/PSync) |
| * [**ChronoSync** - Sync library for distributed real-time applications *(deprecated)*](https://github.com/named-data/ChronoSync) |
| * [**NAC** - Name-based Access Control library](https://github.com/named-data/name-based-access-control) |
| * [**NDNCERT** - NDN certificate management protocol](https://github.com/named-data/ndncert) |
| * [**repo-ng** - NDN repository implementation in C++ *(deprecated)*](https://github.com/named-data/repo-ng) |
| * [**ndn-traffic-generator** - Simple NDN traffic generator](https://github.com/named-data/ndn-traffic-generator) |
