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 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
