+
+1. Modify $HOME/.ndn/client.conf to choose "protocol=nrd-0.1".
+2. Start NFD and NRD.
+3. Run nfd-status to obtain FIB.
+4. Start ndn-traffic-server; configuration has one or more non-overlapping prefixes.
+5. Run nfd-status to obtain FIB. Compare new FIB to the FIB from step 3, and determine whether FIB entry is inserted
+6. Stop ndn-traffic-server.
+7. Run nfd-status to obtain FIB. Compare new FIB to the FIB from step 5, and determine whether FIB entry is deleted
