+ As a proposed Internet architecture, Named Data Networking (NDN) takes a
+ fundamental departure from today's TCP/IP architecture, thus requiring extensive
+ experimentation and evaluation. To facilitate such experimentation, we have developed
+ ndnSIM, an open-source NDN simulator based on the NS-3 simulation framework. Since its
+ first release in 2012, ndnSIM has gone through five years of active development and
+ integration with the NDN prototype implementations, and has become a popular platform
+ used by hundreds of researchers around the world. This paper presents an overview of the
+ ndnSIM design, the ndnSIM development process, the design tradeoffs, and the reasons
+ behind the design decisions. We also share with the community a number of lessons we
+ have learned in the process.
