6The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to populate `NFD's
Alexander Afanasyev67758b12018-03-06 18:36:44 -05007<https://named-data.net/doc/NFD/>`_ RIB. NLSR calculates the routing table using
Ashlesh Gawande9e955bc2017-11-30 17:33:03 -06008link-state or hyperbolic routing and produces multiple faces for each reachable name
9prefix in a single authoritative domain.

11**Included features**:
12
13- Advertise availability of content through the configured router
14
15- Use `ChronoSync <https://github.com/named-data/ChronoSync>`_ to synchronize routers' LSA sequence numbers and Interest/Data to retrieve LSAs
16
17- Produce a list of ranked forwarding options for each name prefix to facilitate NDN's adaptive forwarding strategies
18
19- Configure maximum number of faces per prefix in NFDs RIB
20
21- Set up NFD tunnels to neighbors automatically and maintain the tunnels to neighbors
22
23- Provide two routing protocols:
24
25 + Link State routing: calculate route cost based on link costs
26 + Hyperbolic routing: calculate route cost based on hyperbolic coordinates
27
28- Use a hierarchical trust model for routing within a single administrative domain
29
30- Keep NFDs RIB updated on failure and recovery
