-# ndncatchunks and ndnputchunks
+# ndnputchunks
 
-**ndncatchunks** and **ndnputchunks** are a pair of programs to transfer a file as Data segments.
+**ndnputchunks** is a producer program that reads a file from the standard input, and makes
+it available as a set of NDN Data segments. It appends version and segment number components
+to the specified name as needed, according to the [NDN naming conventions](
+https://named-data.net/publications/techreports/ndn-tr-22-3-ndn-memo-naming-conventions/).

-## Version discovery in ndncatchunks
-
-If a version component is present at the end of the user-specified NDN name, the provided version
-number will be used, without any version discovery process. Otherwise, discovery Interest(s) will

-[Realtime Data Retrieval (RDR) protocol](https://redmine.named-data.net/projects/ndn-tlv/wiki/RDR).
-
-## Interest pipeline types in ndncatchunks
-
-* `fixed`: maintains a fixed-size window of Interests in flight; the window size is configurable
-           via a command line option and defaults to 1.
-
-* `aimd` : adjusts the window size via additive-increase/multiplicative-decrease (AIMD).
-           By default, it uses a Conservative Window Adaptation, that is, the congestion window
-           will be decreased at most once per round-trip-time.
-
-* `cubic`: adjusts the window size similar to the TCP CUBIC algorithm.
-           For details about both aimd and cubic please refer to:

 If the specified version component is not valid, ndnputchunks will exit with an error. If no version
 component is specified, one will be generated and appended to the name.

-### Retrieval
-
-To retrieve the latest version of a published file, the following command can be used:
-
-    ndncatchunks /localhost/demo/gpl3
-
-To fetch a specific version of a published file, you can specify the version number at the end of
-the name. For example, if the version is known to be 1449078495094, the following command
