ndn-autoconfig-server
=====================
Usage
-----
::
ndn-autoconfig-server [-h] [-p <PREFIX>] [-p <PREFIX>] ... <FACEURI>
Description
-----------
``ndn-autoconfig-server`` is a daemon that implements the server part for the stage 1 of
:ref:`NDN hub discovery procedure`.
This daemon essentially waits for Interests for ``/localhop/ndn-autoconf/hub`` and
satisfies them with a Data packet that contains a TLV-encoded FaceUri block. The value of
this block is the ``Uri`` for the HUB, preferably a UDP tunnel.
``-h``
print usage and exit.
``<FACEURI>``
FaceUri for this NDN hub.
``-p <PREFIX>``
A local prefix for which the local hub allows end applications to register prefixes
(See more details in :ref:`local-prefix-discovery`). One can supply more than one
prefixes. All supplied prefixes will be put into the local prefix discovery data
as described in :ref:`local-prefix-discovery`. If no prefix is specified,
auto-config-server will not serve any local prefix discovery data.
