 The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to populate NDN'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. NLSR
 will continue to evolve over time to include neighbor discovery and to become a full
 fledged inter-domain routing protocol for NDN.
