Mini-NDN is a lightweight networking emulation tool that enables testing, experimentation, and research on the NDN platform. Based on Mininet, Mini-NDN uses the NDN libraries, NFD, NLSR, and tools released by the NDN project to emulate an NDN network on a single system.
Included features:
Run a complete NDN network on a single system
Automatic configuration of NLSR to provide a routable NDN network
Supports user created NDN applications
Create a topology using the included Mini-NDN Edit GUI application
Allows individual configuration of NFD and NLSR parameters for each node
Provides an experiment management framework for easy creation of custom networking experiments
Uses a simple topology file format to define hosts, links, and configuration values
Configure network link parameters including bandwidth, delay, and loss rate
Includes a pre-configured topology file to replicate the NDN testbed
