NFD VERSION 0.5.0 Release date: October 4, 2016 NOTE Version 0.5.0 introduces several breaking changes to the internal API (forwarding pipelines, strategy interface, tables) and wire format of management protocol NOTE As of version 0.5.0, NFD requires a modern compiler (gcc >= 4.8.2, clang >= 3.4) and a relatively new version of Boost libraries (>= 1.54). This means that the code no longer compiles with the packaged version of gcc and boost libraries on Ubuntu 12.04. NFD can still be compiled on such systems, but requires separate installation of a newer version of the compiler (e.g., clang-3.4) and dependencies. Changes since version 0.4.1 New features - Add Adaptive SRTT-based Forwarding strategy (Issue 3566) - BREAKING CHANGE Introduce configurable policy for admission of unsolicited data packets into the content store (Issue 2181). Currently available policies: - DropAllUnsolicitedDataPolicy (THE NEW DEFAULT): drop all unsolicited data packets - AdmitLocalUnsolicitedDataPolicy (the old default): allow unsolicited data packets from local applications to be cached (e.g., with a lower priority), drop all other unsolicited data - AdmitNetworkUnsolicitedDataPolicy: allow unsolicited data packets from the network to be cached (e.g., with a lower priority), drop all other unsolicited data - AdmitAllUnsolicitedDataPolicy: cache all unsolicited data packets - Introduce mechanism to update properties (e.g., flags, persistency) of an existing Face (Issue 3731). Note that the corresponding nfdc command will be available in the next release. Updates - BREAKING CHANGE Strategy API update. FIB entry is no longer supplied to the Strategy::afterReceiveInterest method (i.e., FIB lookup is not performed by the forwarding pipelines). When necessary, a strategy can request FIB lookup using Strategy::lookupFib (Issues 3664, 3205, 3679, 3205) - BREAKING CHANGE ForwarderStatus dataset can now be requested only with /localhost/nfd/status/general interest (Issue 3379) - Optimizations of tables and forwarding, including reduced usage of shared_ptr (Issues 3205, 3164, 3687) - Display extended diagnostic information if NFD crashes (Issue 2541) - Visualize NACK counters in nfd-status output (Issue 3569) - Extend management to process the new LocalFieldsEnabled attribute when creating/updating Faces (Issue 3731) - Switch logging facility to use Boost.Log (Issue 3562) - Refactor implementation of nfdc tool, which now supports a new command-line syntax and retrieval of status datasets (Issues 3749, 3780).

Changes since version 0.3.4 NOTE Version 0.4.0 introduces several breaking changes to API and wire format of management protocols New features: - (BREAKING CHANGE) Refactored implementation of face system (Issues 3088, 3104, 3165, 3168, 3225, 3226, 3253, 3259, 3169, 3160, 3278, 3166, 3177, 3177, 3172) The abstraction to send/receive NDN packets has been split into Transport, LinkService, and Face: - _Transport_ provides delivery of the data blocks over specific underlying channels (raw ethernet packets, unicast/multicast UDP datagrams, TCP and WebSocket streams) Implemented: UnixStreamTransport, EthernetTransport, UnicastUdpTransport, MulticastUdpTransport, WebSocketTransport, TcpTransport, InternalForwarderTransport - _LinkService_ provides an "adaptation" layer to translate between NDN packets and data blocks communicated through Transport. For example, LinkService can provide packet fragmentation and reassembly services. Implemented: GenericLinkService - _Face_ provides combines Transport and LinkServices, providing high-level interface to work with Interest/Data/Nack packets inside NFD. NOTE This feature replaces support for signaling between local applications and NFD from LocalControlHeader with NDNLPv2 protocol. If your application uses LocalControlHeader features, it must be updated to use the new protocol (e.g., update to use ndn-cxx >= 0.4.0) - Support for NDNLPv2 (http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/NDNLPv2, Issues 2520, 2763, 2841) - Network NACK (Issue 2883) - Fragmentation and reassembly (Issue 3171) - Networking NACK in pipelines and best-route strategy (Issue 3156) - Refactored implementation of NFD management (Issues 2200, 2107) - Interest forwarding processes Link included in interest packets (Issue 3034) NOTE This feature requires proper defintion of new tables.network_region section in the NFD config file (Issue 3159) - Full support for UDP permanent faces (Issues 2993, 2989, 3018) - Automatic start of NDN auto-configuration client (ndn-autoconfig) when starting NFD using nfd-start, when enabled in autoconfig.conf (Issue 2716) Updates and bug fixes: - (BREAKING CHANGE) Redesign of automatic prefix propagation, formerly known as remote prefix registration (Issues 3211, 2413) This includes a backward-incompatible change to NFD's configuration file: - rib.remote_register section has been removed and, if present, will cause failure for NFD to start - rib.auto_prefix_propagate section has been added to control automatic prefix propagation feature - Adapt pcap filter in EthernetTransport to accept only untagged frames (Issue 3348) - Increase the initial suppression interval in BestRouteStrategy2 to 250ms (Issue 3230) - Fix potential crash in Measurements::get(Fib::s_emptyEntry) (Issue 3275) - Fix memory leak in PriorityFifoPolicy (Issue 3236) - Display extended information for fatal NFD errors (Issue 2541) - Compilation fixes for clang-700.0.72 (Apple LLVM 7.0.0) (Issue 3209) - Properly handle exception from NetworkMonitor when the platform doesn't support it (Issue 3195) - Multiple test suite improvements (Issues 3322, 3306, 3305, 3307, 3346, 3327) Deprecated: - BroadcastStrategy (/localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast) renamed as MulticastStrategy (/localhost/nfd/strategy/multicast) (Issue 3011) - ForwarderStatus dataset retrievable using /localhost/nfd/status name, use /localhost/nfd/status/general instead. Deleted: - NotificationStream, replaced by the version in ndn-cxx library (Issue 2144) Known issues: - NFD currently has a known limitation in supporting the retrieval of data using full names, i.e., names with the implicit digest (Issue 3363). This limitation will be addressed in the next release. -

NFD-0.3.42fc649bf · ·
Changes since version 0.3.3 Release date: August 31, 2015 New features: - Boolean Face property IsOnDemand has been replaced with multistate FacePersistency property (Issues 2989 and 3018): persistent (Face exists as long as there are no system or socket errors), on-demand (Face is removed after inactivity period), and permanent (Face exists unless explicitly destroyed by the management). Currently, only UDP faces are allowed to be permanent. However, management interface to create UDP permanent faces or switch UDP to permanent state will be available in the next release (Issue 2991). - Least Recently Used policy for Content Store (Issue 2219) Currently, changing the policy requires a minor change in NFD source code. Configuration interface is coming in the next release (Issue 3148) Updates and bug fixes: - Update of NDN Essential Tools to version 0.2 with code improvements and the following new tools: - PIB service to manage the public information of keys and publish certificates (Issue 3018) - A Wireshark dissector for NDN packets (Issue 3092) - RibManager constructor now accepts KeyChain as a parameter, preparing it for simplifying implementation with the new ndn::Dispatcher class (Issue 2390) - Fix HTML rendering of nfd-status-http-server output in some browsers (Issue 3019) - Enable automatic re-creation of multicast faces when network connectivity changes (Issue 2460) - Enhance exception throwing with Boost Exception library (Issue 2541) Deprecated: - BroadcastStrategy (/localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast) renamed as MulticastStrategy (/localhost/nfd/strategy/multicast) (Issue 3011) Upcoming features (partially finished in development branches): - NDNLPv2 (http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/NDNLPv2, Issues 2520, 2879, 2763, 2883, 2841, 2866) - Refactored implementation of NFD management (Issues 2200, 2107)
