| |
| NLSR version 0.1.0 (initial release) |
| ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |
| |
| Release date: August 25, 2014 |
| |
| The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to populate `NFD's |
| <http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/>`_ 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. |
| |
| **Included features**: |
| |
| - Advertise availability of content through the configured router |
| |
| - Use `ChronoSync <https://github.com/named-data/ChronoSync>`_ to synchronize routers' LSA sequence numbers and Interest/Data to retrieve LSAs |
| |
| - Produce a list of ranked forwarding options for each name prefix to facilitate NDN's adaptive forwarding strategies |
| |
| - Configure maximum number of faces per prefix in NFD’s RIB |
| |
| - Set up NFD tunnels to neighbors automatically and maintain the tunnels to neighbors |
| |
| - Provide two routing protocols: |
| |
| + Link State routing: calculate route cost based on link costs |
| + Hyperbolic routing: calculate route cost based on hyperbolic coordinates |
| |
| - Use a hierarchical trust model for routing within a single administrative domain |
| |
| - Keep NFD’s RIB updated on failure and recovery |
