MicroForwarder.js: an NDN Forwarder Extension for Web Browsers

Published: 26 September 2016 Publication History

Abstract

MicroForwarder.js is a Web browser extension that brings NDN packet forwarding capability to the now-ubiquitous browser platform. It enables local communication and sharing of cached data among the NDN.JS applications running in the same browser. It also allows the NDN.JS applications to share the communication channels to remote NDN forwarders and manages those channels on behalf of the apps. MicroForwarder.js is implemented in pure JavaScript based on the WebExtensions API and can be installed on the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome without requiring custom-built browser platform.
