Evaluating Content Delivery over Dynamic Wireless Multicast for NDN

The current address-centric link-layer multicast hinders the native ability of NDN dynamic multicast to fast and efficiently deliver content in wireless network with large number of end hosts. In our recent paper, we presented techniques for dynamic group MAC addresses generating and lightweight packet filtering to collaborate NDN native multicast with the current link layer. In this demo, we present a platform for evaluating content delivery over NDN multicast using these techniques. The platform does not require changes in existing 802.11 standards and we implemented it on Raspberry Pies and personal computers. The platform allows evaluation of the performance of dynamic multicast, operation overhead, and multicast feedback in various settings including network delay, multicast data transmission rate and environment interference.
