The NDN project team compiles and publishes this newsletter monthly to inform the community about recent activities, technical news, meetings, publications, presentations, code releases, and upcoming events. You can find these newsletters posted on the Named Data Networking Project blog.
Community Outreach
- Save the date: We will host the NDN Community Meeting 2015 at the University of California at Los Angeles campus in the Little Theatre of McGowan Hall on 28-29 September 2015. We plan to hold a Hackathon on Sunday 27 September preceding the meeting.
Technical News
- The NDN Testbed added a new node in Norway at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) to bring the total to 24 nodes. Currently, we have nodes in 9 different countries. We have two additional approved nodes that we will add soon. You can see the current status of the testbed at: http://ndndemo.arl.wustl.edu/ and the real time bandwidth usage at: http://ndnmap.arl.wustl.edu/.
- We are pleased to announce release of version 0.3.2 of Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon (NFD) and ndn-cxx library. The detailed notes for the releases:
- – for NFD: http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/0.3.2/RELEASE_NOTES.html
- – for ndn-cxx library: http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-cxx/0.3.2/RELEASE_NOTES.html
- Source code, installation instructions for pre-compiled binaries tutorials, HOWTOs, a FAQ and updated developers guide available on the official webpages of NFD and ndn-cxx:
- We have new versions of the NDN Common Client Libraries for NDN-CPP (C++), PyNDN (Python), NDN-JS (JavaScript) and jNDN (Java). We have deprecated support for NDNx including the ndnb (binary XML) wire format (you should use the TLV wire format) and using the ndnd or ndnd-tlv forwarder from NDNx (you should use NFD). For details, please see the CHANGELOG for each library:
