Prerequisites

Custom version of NS-3 (branch ndnSIM-v2.5) and ndnSIM 2.6 (tagged as ndnSIM-2.6) needs to be installed.

It may or may not work with more recent ndnSIM versions (> 2.6).

mkdir ndnSIM
cd ndnSIM

git clone https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ns-3-dev ns-3
(cd ns-3; git checkout ndnSIM-v2.5)
git clone --recursive https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM ns-3/src/ndnSIM
(cd ns-3/src/ndnSIM; git checkout ndnSIM-2.6)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/spirosmastorakis/scenario-ChronoSync

cd ns-3
./waf configure -d optimized
./waf
sudo ./waf install

# When using Linux, run
# sudo ldconfig

# When using Freebsd, run
# sudo ldconfig -a

cd ..
git clone https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/scenario-template.git my-simulations
cd my-simulations

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

After which you can proceed to compile and run the code

For more information how to install NS-3 and ndnSIM, please refer to http://ndnsim.net website.

Compiling

To configure in optimized mode without logging (default):

./waf configure

To configure in optimized mode with scenario logging enabled (logging in NS-3 and ndnSIM modules will still be disabled, but you can see output from NS_LOG* calls from your scenarios and extensions):

./waf configure --logging

To configure in debug mode with all logging enabled

./waf configure --debug

If you have installed NS-3 in a non-standard location, you may need to set up PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable.

Running

You can run the ping scenario by typing

./waf --run chronosync-simple

# or
# ./build/chronosync-simple
