| 7 | Version 0.1.0 is the initial release of NLSR, a routing protocol for NDN. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to |
| 10 | populate `NFD`_’s FIB. NLSR calculates the routing table using link-state |
| 11 | or hyperbolic routing and produces multiple faces for each reachable |
| 12 | name prefix in a single authoritative domain. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The current features include: |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - **Produce a list of ranked forwarding options for each name prefix to facilitate NDN’s adaptive forwarding strategies** |
| 17 | |
| 18 | - **Name Prefix advertisement** |
| 19 | |
| 20 | + Advertise availability of data through the configured router |
| 21 | |
| 22 | - **Use ChronoSync to synchronize routers' LSA sequence numbers and Interest/Data to retrieve LSAs** |
| 23 | |
| 24 | - **Limit faces per prefix** |
| 25 | |
| 26 | + Configure maximum number of faces per prefix in NFD's FIB |
| 27 | |
| 28 | - **Automatic NFD tunnel configuration and maintainance to neighbors** |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - **Routing protocol** |
| 31 | |
| 32 | + Link State routing |
| 33 | + **Hyperbolic routing** |
| 34 | |
| 35 | + Calculates route cost based on a node's polar coordinates |
| 36 | |
| 37 | - **Use a hierarchical trust model for routing within a single administrative domain** |
| 38 | |
| 39 | - **NFD Forwarding Information Base (FIB) consistency** |
| 40 | |
| 41 | + Provides shortest path next hops for efficient forwarding |
| 42 | + Keeps NFD's FIB updated on node failure and recovery |
