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
