NLSR version 0.1.0 (initial release)¶
Release date: August 25, 2014
The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to populate NFD’s RIB. NLSR calculates the routing table using link-state or hyperbolic routing and produces multiple faces for each reachable name prefix in a single authoritative domain.
Included features:
- Advertise availability of content through the configured router
- Use ChronoSync to synchronize routers’ LSA sequence numbers and Interest/Data to retrieve LSAs
- Produce a list of ranked forwarding options for each name prefix to facilitate NDN’s adaptive forwarding strategies
- Configure maximum number of faces per prefix in NFD’s RIB
- Set up NFD tunnels to neighbors automatically and maintain the tunnels to neighbors
- Provide two routing protocols:
- Link State routing: calculate route cost based on link costs
- Hyperbolic routing: calculate route cost based on hyperbolic coordinates
- Use a hierarchical trust model for routing within a single administrative domain
- Keep NFD’s RIB updated on failure and recovery
