+# Route expiration test scenario
+
+Test that routes in the RIB expire when expected
+
+1.  Start NFD (including RIB Daemon) on A,B,C
+
+2.  Add the following routes on A:
+      ndn:/P , nexthop=hostB, expiration=10s
+      ndn:/P , nexthop=hostC, expiration=20s
+      ndn:/Q , nexthop=hostB, expiration=20s
+      ndn:/R , nexthop=hostC, expiration=10s
+      ndn:/S , nexthop=hostB, expiration=3600s
+
+3.  Delay 5 seconds; run nfd-status on A to inspect RIB
+    Expected routes:
+      ndn:/P (hostB expires in 3-8s, hostC expires in 13-18s)
+      ndn:/Q (hostB expires in 13-18s)
+      ndn:/R (hostC expires in 3-8s)
+      ndn:/S (hostB expires in >3000s)
+
+4.  Delay 10 seconds; run nfd-status on A to inspect RIB
+    Expected routes:
+      ndn:/P (hostC expires in 3-8s)
+      ndn:/Q (hostB expires in 3-8s)
+      ndn:/R : entry does not exist
+      ndn:/S (hostB expires in >3000s)
+
+5.  Delay 8 seconds; run nfd-status on A to inspect RIB
+    Expected routes:
+      ndn:/P : entry does not exist
+      ndn:/Q : entry does not exist
+      ndn:/R : entry does not exist
+      ndn:/S (hostB expires in >3000s)
