Repo protocol and repo-ng

=============

## Repo protocol

**Repo protocol** is semantics and operating process for persistent storage node in NDN. The operation of NDN repo includes reading from, insertion to and deleting from data objects in NDN repository nodes.

**Repo protocol** is based on [Command Interests](http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/Command_Interests) specification.

**Repo protocol** conforms to **protocols and specifications** for operating and controlling.

* [NFD command interests](http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/Command_Interests) for constructing signed interest of access control.

* [[Repo Protocol Specification|Repo Protocol Specification]]

* [NFD Control Command specification](http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/ControlCommand): The reponse of insertion and deletion command will follow the response format of this specification, but with different defination of status code.

## repo-ng

**repo-ng** (repo-new generation) is an implementation of NDN persistent in-network storage conforming to **Repo protocol**. It uses [ndn-cpp-dev](http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/ndn-cpp-dev) as NDN client library and database sqlite3 as underlying data storage.
