+<p>See [need link here] for algorithm details.</p>
+
+<p>The NDN pub-sub algorithm is designed using the following criteria:</p>
+<ul>
+    <li>subscriber-driven</li>
+    <li>lightweight</li>
+    <li>avoid unnecessary IO</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>It makes the following guarantees:</p>
+<ul>
+    <li>each publisher will order its own messages by the order in which they were published; however, the mechanism
+        for this ordering (i.e. a monotonically-increasing ID) will not maintain the guarantee across multiple
+        publishers (in this case, an application-level mechanism, like a time-synchronized timestamp, must be used;
+        alternatively, try ChronoSync)
+    </li>
+    <li>publishers will provide the messages published on a topic for a specified lifetime; even after being closed,
+        the publisher must maintain a registered prefix and respond to subscriber requests for data
+    </li>
+    <li>subscribers will eventually discover all routable publishers</li>
