Simulating using ndnSIM

While it is possible to write simulations directly inside NS-3 (in scratch/ folder) or ndnSIM (in examples/), the recommended way is to write your simulation scenarios, as well as any custom extensions, separately from the NS-3 or ndnSIM core.

For example, you can use the following template to write your extensions, simulation scenarios, and metric processing scripts: http://github.com/cawka/ndnSIM-scenario-template:

mkdir ndnSIM
cd ndnSIM
git clone git://github.com/cawka/ns-3-dev-ndnSIM.git ns-3
git clone git://github.com/cawka/pybindgen.git pybindgen
git clone git://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM.git ns-3/src/ndnSIM

# Build and install NS-3 and ndnSIM
cd ns-3
./waf configure -d optimized --enable-examples
./waf

sudo ./waf install
cd ..

Create Scenario:

  git clone git://github.com/cawka/ndnSIM-scenario-template.git scenario
  cd scenario 
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  ./waf configure
  ./waf --run <scenario>

Using scratch folder Not tried

cd ns-3/scratch
git clone git://github.com/cawka/ndnSIM-scenario-template.git scenario
./waf configure
./waf --run <scenario>

Troubleshooting

Directory structure: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/ns-3-users/ppP8A9vVloo/MtxYbb-dCEkJ
ns3-ndnSim not found: http://www.lists.cs.ucla.edu/pipermail/ndnsim/2013-March/000172.html

Lib, include not found

Run with prefix and ENV exports.

  ./waf configure --prefix=/home/ndnSIM

Log files:

in separated scenario folder: build/config.log

Configure ns3 with

  ./waf configure -d optimized

Configure and compile scenario with ENV:

  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./waf configure

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./waf configure --debug

Run scenario with ENV:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./waf --run <scenario_name>

When running using ./waf, it is possible to run scenario with visualizer:

./waf --run <scenario_name> --vis

Sep 2014 29-30: build simple test simulation

All NDN Examples are here and not coupled in ns-3 / ndnSim packages: https://github.com/cawka/ndnSIM-examples.git
Working also with –vis

To see NS_LOG=DumbRequester:ndn.Producer ./waf –run=ndn-simple-with-content-freshness the simulation must be compiled with –debug

./waf configure --debug

My example:

NDNsim tutorial has examples: http://ndnsim.net/cs.html

   git clone https://github.com/thuydang/ndnSIM-scenario-template.git td-simple-ndn
