/** @brief provides automatic prefix propagation feature
 *
 * The AutoPrefixPropagator monitors changes to local RIB, and registers prefixes onto a
 * connected gateway router (HUB), so that Interests under propagated prefixes will be forwarded
 * toward the local host by the HUB.
 *
 * The route origin of propagated prefix is CLIENT, as shown on the HUB.
 *
 * Connectivity to a HUB is indicated with a special RIB entry "ndn:/localhop/nfd".
 * Currently, the AutoPrefixPropagator can process the connection to at most one HUB.
 *
 * For every RIB entry except "ndn:/localhop/nfd" and those starting with "ndn:/localhost", the
 * AutoPrefixPropagator queries the local KeyChain for signing identities that is authorized
 * to sign a prefix registration command of a prefix of the RIB prefix.
 *
 * If one or more signing identities are found, the identity that can sign a prefix registration
 * command of the shortest prefix is chosen, and the AutoPrefixPropagator will attempt to
 * propagte a prefix to the HUB using the shortest prefix. It's noteworthy that no route flags will
 * be inherited from the local registration.
 * If no signing identity is available, no prefix of the RIB entry is propagated to the HUB.
 *
 * When a RIB entry is erased, the corresponding propagated entry would be revoked,
 * unless another local RIB entry is causing the propagation of that prefix.
 *
 * After a successful propagation, the AutoPrefixPropagator will refresh the propagation
 * periodically by resending the registration command.
 *
 * In case of a failure or timeout in a registration command, the command will be retried with an
 * exponential back-off strategy.
 *
 * The AutoPrefixPropagator can be configured in NFD configuration file, at the
 * rib.auto_prefix_propagate section.
