Abstract

Experimental research in Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is crucial to the evaluation of new architectural proposals that bring named pieces of content as the main element of networks. This paper presents a new fast prototyping tool for the NDN (Named Data Networking) model, Mini-CCNx, that aims at filling an existing gap in generally available experimental platforms. Using container-based emulation and resource isolation techniques, Mini-CCNx appears as a flexible, scalable, high-fidelity, and low-cost tool that enables rich experimentation with hundreds of emulated NDN nodes in a commodity laptop.
