ndnSIM
======
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM)
A new release of [NS-3 based Named Data Networking (NDN) simulator](http://ndnsim.net/)
went through extensive refactoring and rewriting. The key new features of the new
version:
- Packet format changed to [NDN Packet Specification](http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-tlv/)
- ndnSIM uses implementation of basic NDN primitives from
[ndn-cxx library (NDN C++ library with eXperimental eXtensions)](http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-cxx/)
Based on version `0.6.0`
- All NDN forwarding and management is implemented directly using source code of
[Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon (NFD)](http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/)
Based on version `0.6.0`
- Allows [simulation of real applications](http://ndnsim.net/guide-to-simulate-real-apps.html)
written against ndn-cxx library
- Requires a modified version of NS-3 based on version `ns-3.27-22-g90fb309d5`
