Davide Pesavento1e9faf12023-01-21 16:04:50 -0500[diff] [blame]17**NLSR** is a routing protocol for Named Data Networking (NDN) that populates the Routing
18Information Base (RIB) of an NDN router, such as `NFD`_. NLSR continues to evolve alongside
19the core `NDN protocol`_.
Davide Pesavento1b640fd2023-01-04 21:00:05 -0500[diff] [blame]20
21The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to populate NDN's FIB. NLSR
22calculates the routing table using link-state or hyperbolic routing and produces multiple
23faces for each reachable name prefix in a single authoritative domain. NLSR will continue
24to evolve over time to include neighbor discovery and to become a full fledged
25inter-domain routing protocol for NDN. The protocol design is presented in full detail in
26the `NLSR Paper`_.

28NLSR was mainly developed by members of the NSF-sponsored `NDN project team
29<https://named-data.net/project/participants/>`__. See `AUTHORS.md
30<https://github.com/named-data/NLSR/blob/master/AUTHORS.md>`__ for details.

32Bug reports and feedback are highly appreciated and can be made through the `NLSR Redmine`_.
