NDN4IVC: a framework for simulations of realistic VANETs applications through NDN.

ABSTRACTWe present NDN for Inter-Vehicle Communication (NDN4IVC) framework for simulating realistic VANET applications over the NDN architecture. The project uses two popular simulators in the literature for VANET simulation, the network simulator ns3, with the ndnSIM module installed, and SUMO, a simulator for urban mobility. NDN4IVC allows real-time bidirectional communication between SUMO and ns3 to support more data about road traffic and vehicular mobility.
