| Davide Pesavento | 82cc17a | 2025-02-17 18:30:05 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | research on the NDN platform. It was initially based on `Mini-CCNx <https://github.com/chesteve/mn-ccnx>`__ |
| 9 | which was a fork of `Mininet <https://github.com/mininet/mininet>`__. Mini-NDN uses the NDN libraries, |
| 10 | NFD, NLSR, and tools released by the `NDN project <https://named-data.net/codebase/platform/>`__ |
| 11 | to emulate an NDN network on a single system. |

| 13 | The first release of Mini-NDN is developed by members of the NSF-sponsored NDN project team. |
