 .. _simple-scenario:

 Simple scenario
 ---------------

 The first example (``ndn-simple.cc``) shows very basics of ndnSIM.  In the simulated
 topology there are 3 nodes, connected with point-to-point links, one
 NDN consumer, and one NDN producer:

 .. aafig::
     :aspect: 60
     :scale: 120

       +----------+                +--------+                +----------+
       |          |     1Mbps      |        |      1Mbps     |          |
       | Consumer |<-------------->| Router |<-------------->| Producer |
       |          |         10ms   |        |         10ms   |          |
       +----------+                +--------+                +----------+

 Consumer is simulated using :ndnsim:`ConsumerCbr` reference application and generates Interests towards the producer
 with frequency of 10 Interests per second (see :doc:`applications`).

 Producer is simulated using :ndnsim:`Producer` class, which is used to satisfy all incoming Interests with virtual payload data (1024 bytes).

 FIB on every node is populated using default routes (see :doc:`helpers`).

 The following code represents all that is necessary to run such a
 simple scenario

 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/ndn-simple.cc
    :language: c++
    :linenos:
    :lines: 20-27,48-
    :emphasize-lines: 30-33,37-49

 If this code is placed into ``scratch/ndn-simple.cc`` and NS-3 is compiled in debug mode, you can run and see progress of the
 simulation using the following command (in optimized mode nothing will be printed out)::

      NS_LOG=ndn.Consumer:ndn.Producer ./waf --run=ndn-simple

 9-node grid example

 This scenario (``ndn-grid.cc``) simulates a grid topology, which is constructed using PointToPointLayout NS-3 module

 FIB is populated using :ndnsim:`GlobalRoutingHelper` (see :doc:`helpers`).

 Consumer is simulated using :ndnsim:`ConsumerCbr` reference application and generates Interests towards the producer
 with frequency of 100 interests per second (see :doc:`applications`).

 Producer is simulated using :ndnsim:`Producer` class, which is used to satisfy all incoming Interests with virtual payload data (1024 bytes).

 The following code represents all that is necessary to run such a simple scenario

 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/ndn-grid.cc

    :emphasize-lines: 28,31-33,35-38,53-57


 If this code is placed into ``scratch/ndn-grid.cc`` and NS-3 is compiled in debug mode, you can run and see progress of the
 simulation using the following command (in optimized mode nothing will be printed out)::

     NS_LOG=ndn.Consumer:ndn.Producer ./waf --run=ndn-grid

 .. _9-node-grid-example-using-topology-plugin:

 9-node grid example using topology plugin
 -----------------------------------------

 Instead of defining topology directly as in :ref:`simple-scenario` or using specialized helpers as in :ref:`9-node-grid-example`, ndnSIM provides experimental extended versions of TopologyReader classes: :ndnsim:`AnnotatedTopologyReader` and :ndnsim:`RocketfuelWeightsReader`.

 While :ndnsim:`RocketfuelWeightsReader` is a specialized version intended to be used with `Rocketfuel <http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/networking/rocketfuel/>`_ topology and link weights files (examples will be provided later), :ndnsim:`AnnotatedTopologyReader` is a more general-use class that uses simple user-readable format.

 :ndnsim:`AnnotatedTopologyReader` expects the following format:

 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/topologies/topo-grid-3x3.txt
    :language: bash
    :linenos:
    :lines: 1-2,19-
    :emphasize-lines: 8,24


 This scenario (``ndn-grid-topo-plugin.cc``) duplicates the functionality of :ref:`9-node-grid-example` but with the use of :ndnsim:`AnnotatedTopologyReader`.

 .. aafig::
     :aspect: 60
     :scale: 120

     /--------\	    /-\	        /-\

 	^   	     ^ 	         ^
         |            |           |

        /-\	    /-\	     /--------\

    :language: c++
    :linenos:
    :lines: 20-26,51-
    :emphasize-lines: 14-16,20,27-30

 As you can see, scenario code became more compact and more readable.

 :ndnsim:`AnnotatedTopologyReader` provides two ways to access topology nodes.
 First, you can use the method :ndnsim:`AnnotatedTopologyReader::GetNodes` which returns NodeContainer.

 Alternatively, nodes can be accessed by name using `Names::Find<Node> ("nodename")` call, as in the above example.
 For this purpose,:ndnsim:`AnnotatedTopologyReader` automatically registers all created nodes with names specified in topology file.
 For more information about `Names` class, please refer to `NS-3 documentation <.. http://www.nsnam.org/doxygen/classns3_1_1_names.html>`_
 .

 If the topology file is placed into ``src/ndnSIM/examples/topologies/topo-grid-3x3.txt`` and the code is placed into ``scratch/ndn-grid-topo-plugin.cc``, you can run and see progress of the simulation using the following command (in optimized mode nothing will be printed out)::

     NS_LOG=ndn.Consumer:ndn.Producer ./waf --run=ndn-grid-topo-plugin


 6-node bottleneck topology
 --------------------------

 This scenario (``ndn-congestion-topo-plugin.cc``) can be used for congestion-related scenarios

 .. aafig::
     :aspect: 60
     :scale: 120

 To run this scenario and see what is happening, use the following command::

         NS_LOG=ndn.Consumer:ndn.Producer ./waf --run=ndn-congestion-topo-plugin

 .. _11-node 2-bottleneck topology with custom forwarding strategy:

 11-node 2-bottleneck topology with custom forwarding strategy
 -------------------------------------------------------------

 To effectively use the example :ref:`custom strategy <Writing your own custom strategy>`, we need to make sure that FIB entries contain at least two entries.
 In the current version of ndnSIM, this can be accomplished using manual route configuration.

 The following example illustrates how the strategy can be used in simulation scenario.

 Let us first define a meaningful topology:

 .. aafig::
     :aspect: 60
     :scale: 120

      /------\ 0                                                 0 /------\

      /------\ 0  /      /                             \      \  0 /------\
      |  c3  |<--+      /                               \      +-->|  p3  |

      "Numbers near nodes denote face IDs. Face ID is assigned based on the order of link"
      "definitions in the topology file"

 The corresponding topology file (``topo-11-node-two-bottlenecks.txt``):

 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/topologies/topo-11-node-two-bottlenecks.txt
     :language: bash
     :linenos:

 Example simulation (``ndn-congestion-alt-topo-plugin.cc``) scenario that utilizes CustomStrategy forwarding strategy:

 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/ndn-congestion-alt-topo-plugin.cc

     :linenos:
     :lines: 21-28,61-
     :emphasize-lines: 16,21,49-50,65-79


 To run this scenario and see what is happening, use the following command::

         NS_LOG=ndn.Consumer:ndn.Producer ./waf --run=ndn-congestion-alt-topo-plugin

 You can also run using visualizer module to verify that both bottleneck links are utilized::

         ./waf --run=ndn-congestion-alt-topo-plugin --visualize

 .. _trace example:

 3-level binary tree with packet-level trace helpers
 ---------------------------------------------------

 This example (``ndn-tree-tracers.cc``) demonstrates basic usage of :ref:`trace classes`.

 In this scenario we will use a tree-like topology, where consumers are installed on leaf nodes and producer is in the root of the tree:

 .. aafig::
     :aspect: 60
     :scale: 120

      /--------\    /--------\    /--------\    /--------\
      |"leaf-1"|    |"leaf-2"|    |"leaf-3"|    |"leaf-4"|
      \--------/    \--------/    \--------/    \--------/
            ^          ^                ^           ^
            |          |                |           |
       	    \        /                  \         /
              \      /  			 \  	 /    10Mbps / 1ms
               \    /  			  \ 	/
                |  |  			   |   |
       	       v  v                        v   v
 	    /-------\                    /-------\
 	    |"rtr-1"|                    |"rtr-2"|
             \-------/                    \-------/
                   ^                        ^
 		  |	 		   |
 		   \			  /  10 Mpbs / 1ms
 		    +--------\  /--------+
 			     |  |
                              v  v
 			  /--------\

                           \--------/

 The corresponding topology file (``topo-tree.txt``):

 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/topologies/topo-tree.txt
     :language: bash
     :linenos:
     :lines: 1-2,27-

 Example simulation (``ndn-tree-tracers.cc``) scenario that utilizes trace helpers:

 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/ndn-tree-tracers.cc
     :language: c++
     :linenos:
     :lines: 21-34,67-
     :emphasize-lines: 7-11,63-67


 To run this scenario, use the following command::

         ./waf --run=ndn-tree-tracers

 The successful run will create ``rate-trace.txt`` and ``aggregate-trace.txt`` files in the current directly, which can be analyzed manually or used as input to some graph/stats packages.

 For example, the following `R script <http://www.r-project.org/>`_ will build a number of nice graphs:

 .. image:: _static/root-rates.png
    :alt: Interest/Data packet rates at the root node
    :align: right

 .. image:: _static/root-5sec-counts.png
    :alt: Interest/Data packet counts at the root node in 5-second intervals
    :align: right

 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/graphs/rate-graph.R
     :language: r
     :linenos:

 .. _cs trace helper example:

 3-level binary tree with content store trace helper
 ---------------------------------------------------

 This example (``ndn-tree-cs-tracers.cc``) demonstrates basic usage of :ref:`content store tracer helper class<cs trace helper>`.

 In this scenario we will use the same tree-like topology as in :ref:`previous example <trace example>`, where consumers are installed on leaf nodes and producer is in the root of the tree.
 The main difference is that each client request data from the same namespace: /root/1, /root/2, ...  Another small difference is that in this scenario we start our application not at the same time, but 10 ms apart.

 Example simulation (``ndn-tree-cs-tracers.cc``) scenario that utilizes trace helpers:

 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/ndn-tree-cs-tracers.cc
     :language: c++
     :linenos:
     :lines: 21-31,64-
     :emphasize-lines: 7-11,25,46,48,65-66


 To run this scenario, use the following command::

         ./waf --run=ndn-tree-cs-tracers

 The successful run will create ``cs-trace.txt``, which similarly to trace file from the :ref:`previous example <trace example>` can be analyzed manually or used as input to some graph/stats packages.

	Simple scenario
	---------------

	The first example (``ndn-simple.cc``) shows very basics of ndnSIM. In the simulated
	topology there are 3 nodes, connected with point-to-point links, one
	NDN consumer, and one NDN producer:

	Consumer is simulated using :ndnsim:`ConsumerCbr` reference application and generates Interests towards the producer
	with frequency of 10 Interests per second (see :doc:`applications`).

	As you can see, scenario code became more compact and more readable.

	:ndnsim:`AnnotatedTopologyReader` provides two ways to access topology nodes.
	First, you can use the method :ndnsim:`AnnotatedTopologyReader::GetNodes` which returns NodeContainer.

	Alternatively, nodes can be accessed by name using `Names::Find<Node> ("nodename")` call, as in the above example.
	For this purpose,:ndnsim:`AnnotatedTopologyReader` automatically registers all created nodes with names specified in topology file.
	For more information about `Names` class, please refer to `NS-3 documentation <.. http://www.nsnam.org/doxygen/classns3_1_1_names.html>`_
	.

	If the topology file is placed into ``src/ndnSIM/examples/topologies/topo-grid-3x3.txt`` and the code is placed into ``scratch/ndn-grid-topo-plugin.cc``, you can run and see progress of the simulation using the following command (in optimized mode nothing will be printed out)::

	NS_LOG=ndn.Consumer:ndn.Producer ./waf --run=ndn-grid-topo-plugin


	6-node bottleneck topology

	.. _11-node 2-bottleneck topology with custom forwarding strategy:

	11-node 2-bottleneck topology with custom forwarding strategy
	-------------------------------------------------------------

	To effectively use the example :ref:`custom strategy <Writing your own custom strategy>`, we need to make sure that FIB entries contain at least two entries.
	In the current version of ndnSIM, this can be accomplished using manual route configuration.

	The following example illustrates how the strategy can be used in simulation scenario.

	Let us first define a meaningful topology:

	.. aafig::
	:aspect: 60
	:scale: 120

	/------\ 0 0 /------\
	\| c1 \|<-----+ +----->\| p1 \|
	\------/ \ / \------/

	\------/ \ \ \| \| / / \------/
	\ \| \| 1Mbps links \| \| /
	\ 1 v0 v5 1v 2v 3 /
	+->/------\ /------\<-+

	+->\------/4 0\------/<-+
	/ 3^ ^5 \
	/ \| \| \
	/------\ 0 / / \ \ 0 /------\
	\| c3 \|<--+ / \ +-->\| p3 \|
	\------/ / \ \------/
	/ "All consumer-router and" \
	/------\ 0 / "router-producer links are" \ 0 /------\
	\| c4 \|<-----+ "10Mbps" +---->\| p4 \|
	\------/ \------/

	"Numbers near nodes denote face IDs. Face ID is assigned based on the order of link"
	"definitions in the topology file"

	The corresponding topology file (``topo-11-node-two-bottlenecks.txt``):

	.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/topologies/topo-11-node-two-bottlenecks.txt
	:language: bash
	:linenos:
	:lines: 1-2,28-

	Example simulation (``ndn-congestion-alt-topo-plugin.cc``) scenario that utilizes CustomStrategy forwarding strategy:

	.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/ndn-congestion-alt-topo-plugin.cc
	:language: c++
	:linenos:
	:lines: 21-28,61-
	:emphasize-lines: 16,21,49-50,65-79


	To run this scenario and see what is happening, use the following command::

	NS_LOG=ndn.Consumer:ndn.Producer ./waf --run=ndn-congestion-alt-topo-plugin

	You can also run using visualizer module to verify that both bottleneck links are utilized::

	./waf --run=ndn-congestion-alt-topo-plugin --visualize

	.. _trace example:

	3-level binary tree with packet-level trace helpers
	---------------------------------------------------

	This example (``ndn-tree-tracers.cc``) demonstrates basic usage of :ref:`trace classes`.

	In this scenario we will use a tree-like topology, where consumers are installed on leaf nodes and producer is in the root of the tree:

	.. aafig::
	:aspect: 60
	:scale: 120

	/--------\ /--------\ /--------\ /--------\
	\|"leaf-1"\| \|"leaf-2"\| \|"leaf-3"\| \|"leaf-4"\|
	\--------/ \--------/ \--------/ \--------/
	^ ^ ^ ^
	\| \| \| \|
	\ / \ /
	\ / \ / 10Mbps / 1ms
	\ / \ /
	\| \| \| \|
	v v v v
	/-------\ /-------\
	\|"rtr-1"\| \|"rtr-2"\|
	\-------/ \-------/
	^ ^
	\| \|
	\ / 10 Mpbs / 1ms
	+--------\ /--------+
	\| \|
	v v
	/--------\
	\| "root" \|
	\--------/

	The corresponding topology file (``topo-tree.txt``):

	.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/topologies/topo-tree.txt
	:language: bash
	:linenos:
	:lines: 1-2,27-

	Example simulation (``ndn-tree-tracers.cc``) scenario that utilizes trace helpers:

	.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/ndn-tree-tracers.cc
	:language: c++
	:linenos:
	:lines: 21-34,67-
	:emphasize-lines: 7-11,63-67


	To run this scenario, use the following command::

	./waf --run=ndn-tree-tracers

	The successful run will create ``rate-trace.txt`` and ``aggregate-trace.txt`` files in the current directly, which can be analyzed manually or used as input to some graph/stats packages.

	For example, the following `R script <http://www.r-project.org/>`_ will build a number of nice graphs:

	.. image:: _static/root-rates.png
	:alt: Interest/Data packet rates at the root node
	:align: right

	.. image:: _static/root-5sec-counts.png
	:alt: Interest/Data packet counts at the root node in 5-second intervals
	:align: right

	.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/graphs/rate-graph.R
	:language: r
	:linenos:

	.. _cs trace helper example:

	3-level binary tree with content store trace helper
	---------------------------------------------------

	This example (``ndn-tree-cs-tracers.cc``) demonstrates basic usage of :ref:`content store tracer helper class<cs trace helper>`.

	In this scenario we will use the same tree-like topology as in :ref:`previous example <trace example>`, where consumers are installed on leaf nodes and producer is in the root of the tree.
	The main difference is that each client request data from the same namespace: /root/1, /root/2, ... Another small difference is that in this scenario we start our application not at the same time, but 10 ms apart.

	Example simulation (``ndn-tree-cs-tracers.cc``) scenario that utilizes trace helpers:

	.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/ndn-tree-cs-tracers.cc
	:language: c++
	:linenos:
	:lines: 21-31,64-
	:emphasize-lines: 7-11,25,46,48,65-66


	To run this scenario, use the following command::

	./waf --run=ndn-tree-cs-tracers

	The successful run will create ``cs-trace.txt``, which similarly to trace file from the :ref:`previous example <trace example>` can be analyzed manually or used as input to some graph/stats packages.
