Mobility Support for NDN in Massive LEO Constellations (for NDNSim)

Overview

This is an ndnSIM simulation scenario and supporting code for validating mobility support in NDN-based massive LEO networks.

The code is composed of several extension modules to the ndnSIM simulator and an example basic scenario in file main.cc. The algorithms used for mobility will be described in a future article.
