-The ndnSIM is NS-3 module that implements Named Data Networking (NDN) communication model, the clean slate Internet design. ndnSIM is specially optimized for simulation purposes and has a cleaner and more extensible internal structure comparing to the existing NDN implementation (NDNx).
-    </p>
+
+<p>ndnSIM 2.0 is a new release of <a class="reference external" href="http://ndnsim.net/1.0/">NS-3 based Named Data Networking (NDN) simulator</a> that went through extensive refactoring and rewriting.  The key new features of the new version:</p>
+
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>ndnSIM no longer re-implements basic NDN primitives and directly uses implementation from <a class="reference external" href="http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-cxx/">ndn-cxx library (NDN C++ library with eXperimental eXtensions)</a>.</li>
+<li>All NDN forwarding and management is implemented directly using source code of <a class="reference external" href="http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/">Named
+Data Networking Forwarding Daemon (NFD)</a></li>
+<li>Packet format changed to <a class="reference external" href="http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-tlv/">NDN-TLV</a></li>
+</ul>
