Collection of tools to simplify synchronous and asynchronous data transfer over the NDN network

The newest version!




See [need link here] for algorithm details.

The NDN pub-sub algorithm is designed using the following criteria:

    subscriber-driven
    lightweight
    avoid unnecessary IO


It makes the following guarantees:

    each publisher will order its own messages by the order in which they were published; however, the mechanism
        for this ordering (i.e. a monotonically-increasing ID) will not maintain the guarantee across multiple
        publishers (in this case, an application-level mechanism, like a time-synchronized timestamp, must be used;
        alternatively, try ChronoSync)
    
    publishers will provide the messages published on a topic for a specified lifetime; even after being closed,
        the publisher must maintain a registered prefix and respond to subscriber requests for data
    
    subscribers will eventually discover all routable publishers
