| Alexander Afanasyev | 7decbbf | 2014-08-24 21:29:01 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | NLSR is a routing protocol in NDN that populates NDN's Routing Information Base. NLSR |
| akmhoque | cc82753 | 2014-07-09 08:48:49 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | will continue to evolve alongside the Named Data Networking [protocol](http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-tlv/). |

| akmhoque | cc82753 | 2014-07-09 08:48:49 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to populate NDN's FIB. |
| 22 | NLSR calculates the routing table using link-state or hyperbolic routing and produces |
| 23 | multiple faces for each reachable name prefix in a single authoritative domain. NLSR |
| 24 | will continue to evolve over time to include neighbor discovery and to become a full |
| 25 | fledged inter-domain routing protocol for NDN. |
