| NLSR - Named Data Link State Routing Protocol |
| ============================================= |
| |
| For complete documentation and more extensive information, |
| please visit the [NLSR homepage](http://named-data.net/doc/NLSR/current/). |
| |
| ## Overview |
| |
| NLSR is a routing protocol in NDN that populates NDN's Routing Information Base. NLSR |
| will continue to evolve alongside the Named Data Networking [protocol](http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-tlv/). |
| |
| NLSR is an open and free software package licensed under the GPL 3.0 license and free to all |
| Internet users and developers. For more information about the licensing details and |
| limitations, refer to [COPYING.md](https://github.com/named-data/NLSR/blob/master/COPYING.md). |
| |
| NLSR is developed by the members of the [NSF-sponsored NDN project team](http://named-data.net/project/participants/). |
| For more details, please refer to [AUTHORS.md](https://github.com/named-data/NLSR/blob/master/AUTHORS.md). |
| Bug reports and feedback are highly appreciated and can be made through the |
| [Redmine site](http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nlsr). |
| |
| The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to populate NDN's 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 over time to include neighbor discovery and to become a full |
| fledged inter-domain routing protocol for NDN. |
