NFD is the network forwarder that implements the Named Data Networking (NDN) protocol and evolves together with the NDN protocol.
The main design goal of NFD development is to support diverse experimention of NDN research. The design emphasizes on modularity and extensibility to allow easy experiments with new protocol features, new algorithms, and new applications. We have not optimized the code for performance, but it can be achieved within the same framework by trying out different data structures and algorithms.
NFD is open, free, and developed by a community effort. Although most code of this first release was done by the NSF-sponsored NDN project team, it also contains significant contributions by people outside the project team. We strongly encourage contributions from all interested parties, since broader community support is key to NDN’s success as a new Internet architecture. Bug reports and feedbacks can be made through Redmine site and the ndn-interest mailing list.
The design and development of NFD benefited from our experiences with CCNx. However NFD does not maintain compatibility with CCNx.
