Vince Lehman608a1332015-07-14 17:47:49 -05006Mini-NDN is a lightweight networking emulation tool that enables testing, experimentation, and
7research on the NDN platform. Mini-NDN is based on [Mini-CCNx](https://github.com/chesteve/mn-ccnx)
8which is a fork of [Mininet](https://github.com/mininet/mininet).
9Mini-NDN uses the [Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon (NFD)](https://github.com/named-data/NFD)
10and the [Named Data Link State Routing Protocol (NLSR)](https://github.com/named-data/NLSR) to
11emulate an NDN network on a single system.
