NLSR: Named Data Link State Routing Protocol

For complete documentation and more extensive information, please visit the NLSR homepage.

Overview

NLSR is a routing protocol in NDN that populates NDN's Routing Information Base. NLSR will continue to evolve alongside the Named Data Networking protocol.

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.

NLSR was mainly developed by members of the NSF-sponsored NDN project team. See AUTHORS.md for details.

Bug reports and feedback are highly appreciated and can be submitted through the NLSR issue tracker.
