9 years ago Hi Yunmei,
currently there is no configuration-based end host mobility support, it is actually one of the topics on our roadmap but with no prevision to be completed in the near term. The dynamic changing of the topology mentioned in the quote above refers to the ability of bringing interfaces up and down via Linux ifconfig commands.
One suggestion I would have in case you want to try a quick and dirty end-host mobility scenario would be defining an end-host with multiple interfaces and attaching each of one to the switches along the "path" the end host would be moving, ie.would have one interface attached to. Then I would bring down all interfaces except one, and you could try "simulating" the mobility of the end host by bringing the interfaces up and down as the end host "moves".
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers, Christian

I read the tutorials on Mini-CCNx github webiste, and wrote a configuration file to create about 40 NDN nodes. The ccnping command worked fine. So I think I have understood the basic grammar of the configuration file.
But how could I implement the mobility of end hosts by configuration file? Is it possible to use Mini-CCNx to emulate the scenario where the end hosts move around?
The github miniccnx website mentions that “you can dynamically interact with the topology, bring the links down, and check how the routing algorithm converges!”, Where can I get more details of dynamically changing the topology?
Looking forward to your replay! Thanks!
Best regards.
