Examples

For the basic example, we will be having all nodes fall under one NFD. This means we can eliminate routing for a quick run.

1. Edit NFD config to see things happen

cs_max_packets 0

2. Start / Restart NFD

3. Configure Repo Prefix Strategy

$ nfdc strategy set /hydra/group /localhost/nfd/strategy/multicast

4. Run the following on 4 or more terminals.

$ cd ndn-hydra
$ python3 ./examples/repo.py -rp /hydra -n <node-name>

  • node_name : A unique, per node, name. Remains constant through restarts. (example: /node1)

5. On a seperate terminal, run all client interactions

Client needs to also be in the root directory cd ndn-hydra. Running python3 ./examples/client.py will help you see all choices you have.

  • Insertion

$ python3 ./examples/client.py insert -r /hydra -f /home/a.txt -p ./examples/files/10mb.txt

  • Query

$ python3 ./examples/client.py query -r /hydra -q /files

  • Fetch

$ python3 ./examples/client.py fetch -r /hydra -f /home/a.txt -p ./examples/output/10mb.txt

  • Deletion

$ python3 ./examples/client.py delete -r /hydra -f /home/a.txt
