| What is Mini-NDN? |
| ----------------- |
| |
| Mini-NDN is a lightweight networking emulation tool that enables testing, experimentation, and |
| research on the NDN platform. It was initially based on `Mini-CCNx <https://github.com/chesteve/mn-ccnx>`__ |
| which was a fork of `Mininet <https://github.com/mininet/mininet>`__. Mini-NDN uses the NDN libraries, |
| NFD, NLSR, and tools released by the `NDN project <https://named-data.net/codebase/platform/>`__ |
| to emulate an NDN network on a single system. |
| |
| The first release of Mini-NDN is developed by members of the NSF-sponsored NDN project team. |
| Mini-NDN is open to contribution from the public. |
