| Mini-NDN version 0.1.0 (initial release) |
| ---------------------------------------- |
| |
| Release date: July 15, 2015 |
| |
| 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 <http://named-data.net/codebase/platform/>`__ 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 |
