Overview

ccnSim is a scalable chunk-level simulator of Information and Content Centric Networks (ICN/CCN) that we make available as open-source software to promote cross-comparison in the scientific community. ccnSim is written in C++ under the Omnnet++ framework, and features three simulation engines:

Demos

You can check the how fast the new version of ccnSim runs when equipped with the the ModelGraft engine [ITC28a] vs the classic event-driven engine [ICC-13] on this YouTube video that we demonstrated at [ITC28a].

Now, imagine that the same comparison would apply to the parallel simulation engine [JSAC-18], which is orders of magnitude faster than ModelGraft! Overall, the parallel engine yield a speed up with respect to event driven on the order of 10000x, for a loss of accuracy of about 0.1% in our tests! (Another YouTube video will soon be available)

Previous versions

Other versions are still available but their download is discouraged (the download counts is indicative, as it is frozen and no longer supported). To discourage downloads, links are not provided (you can do the same, and better with v0.4), but the files are still archived (it should not be impossible to guess with trial and error if you’re motivated).

As for the the former versions of ccnSim:
