+\begin{abstract}
+The Named Data Link-State Routing Protocol (NLSR) is a Named Data Networking (NDN) routing protocol that populates NDN Forwarding Daemon's (NFD) Routing Information Base (RIB).
+The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to populate NFD's RIB and Forwarding Information Base (FIB).
+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 alongside the NDN protocol, NFD, and ndn-cxx.
+This document is meant to explain the design of NLSR including major module and data structures descriptions and the interactions between those components.
