IDP/GR/BT: Data sources for ICN/NDN traffic in IVNs
===
## Topic Outline
### Implementation
* Prepare realistic ICN/NDN traffic sources, e.g., camera or lidar for experimentation with the EnGINE framework
* Creation of a simple NDN data source that can generate periodic, dummy traffic and will be integrated into the EnGINE framework
* That source can then be used to generate realistic network traffic originating, e.g., from cameras or lidar.
* We have some sensors currently available
* The aforementioned application can be modified to convert the video to an NDN format and enable its transmission via our NDN network
* Possibly not only video, but also lidar
### Evaluation
* Measure video stream parameters and assess them in TSN/IVN context
* Investigate the idea of caching and multi-target streams
## Requirements
* General computer networking knowledge
* Knowledge of C++ and Python is highly recommended
* Knowledge of Ansible is a plus, but not a must and can be learned during thesis
* Knowledge of NDN/ICN concept is a plus, but not a must and can be learned during thesis
