+FAQ
+===
+
+How to change default paths?
+----------------------------
+
+Paths to where NFD is installed can be configured during ``./waf
+configure``:
+
+- Installation prefix (default ``/usr/local``):
+
+ ::
+
+ ./waf configure --prefix=/usr
+
+- Location of NFD configuration file (default: ``${prefix}/etc``):
+
+ ::
+
+ ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
+
+- Location of manpages (default: ``${prefix}/share/man``)
+
+ ::
+
+ ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man
+
+How to run NFD on Raspberry Pi?
+-------------------------------
+
+To run NFD on the Raspberry Pi, you need to either enable IPv6 support
+in Raspberry Pi or disable IPv6 support in NFD.
+
+To enable IPv6 in Raspberry Pi:
+
+::
+
+ sudo modprobe ipv6
+
+To disable IPv6 in NFD, replace ``enable_v6 yes`` with ``enable_v6 no``
+in ``tcp`` and ``udp`` sections of ``/usr/local/etc/ndn/nfd.conf``:
+
+::
+
+ ...
+ tcp
+ {
+ listen yes
+ port 6363
+ enable_v4 yes
+ enable_v6 no
+ }
+
+ udp
+ {
+ port 6363
+ enable_v4 yes
+ enable_v6 no
+ idle_timeout 600
+ keep_alive_interval 25
+
+ mcast yes
+ mcast_port 56363
+ mcast_group 224.0.23.170
+ }
+ ...
+
+
+How to run NFD as non-root user?
+--------------------------------
+
+
+How to enable Ethernet Face Support?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The ``ether`` configuration file section contains settings for Ethernet faces and
+channels. These settings will **NOT** work without root or setting the appropriate
+permissions:
+
+::
+
+ sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /full/path/nfd
+
+You may need to install a package to use setcap:
+
+**Ubuntu:**
+
+::
+
+ sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin
+
+**Mac OS X:**
+
+::
+
+ curl https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3373 -o ChmodBPF.tar.gz
+ tar zxvf ChmodBPF.tar.gz
+ open ChmodBPF/Install\ ChmodBPF.app
+
+or manually:
+
+::
+
+ sudo chgrp admin /dev/bpf*
+ sudo chmod g+rw /dev/bpf*
+
+How to enable UDP multicast support in multi-homed Linux machines
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The UDP configuration file section contains settings for unicast and multicast UDP
+faces. If the Linux box is equipped with multiple network interfaces with multicast
+capabilities, the settings for multicast faces will **NOT** work without root
+or setting the appropriate permissions:
+
+::
+
+ sudo setcap cap_net_raw=eip /full/path/nfd

+
+How to configure NFD security?
+------------------------------
+
+.. note:: Sample configuration file of NFD allow any user to manage faces, FIB, RIB, and
+ StrategyChoice. The following description can be used to restrict certain operations
+ to certain users.
+
+ More extensive documentation about NFD's security and options to configure trust model
+ for NFD is currently in preparation.
+
+Many NFD management protocols require signed commands to be processed
+(e.g. FIB modification, Face creation/destructions, etc.). You will need
+an NDN certificate to use any application that issues signed commands.
+
+If you do not already have NDN certificate, you can generate one with
+the following commands:
+
+**Generate and install a self-signed identity certificate**:
+
+::
+
+ ndnsec-keygen /`whoami` | ndnsec-install-cert -
+
+Note that the argument to ndnsec-key will be the identity name of the
+new key (in this case, ``/your-username``). Identity names are
+hierarchical NDN names and may have multiple components (e.g.
+``/ndn/ucla/edu/alice``). You may create additional keys and identities
+as you see fit.
+
+**Dump the NDN certificate to a file**:
+
+The following commands assume that you have not modified ``PREFIX`` or
+``SYSCONFDIR`` If you have, please substitute ``/usr/local/etc`` for the
+appropriate value (the overriden ``SYSCONFDIR`` or ``PREFIX/etc`` if you
+changed ``PREFIX``).
+
+::
+
+ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/ndn/keys
+ ndnsec-cert-dump -i /`whoami` > default.ndncert
+ sudo mv default.ndncert /usr/local/etc/ndn/keys/default.ndncert

+How to start using NDN MacPorts repository on OSX?
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+OSX users have an opportunity to seamlessly install and run NFD and other related
+applications via `MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/>`_. If you are not using MacPorts
+yet, go to `MacPorts website <https://www.macports.org/install.php>`_ and download and
+install the MacPorts package.
+
+NFD and related ports are not part of the official MacPorts repository and in order to use
+it, you need to add NDN MacPorts repository to the local configuration. In particular,
+you will need to modify the list of source URLs for MacPorts. For example, if your
+MacPorts are installed in ``/opt/local``, add the following line
+`/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf` before or after the default port repository:
+
+::
+
+ rsync://macports.named-data.net/macports/
+
+After this step, you can use ``sudo port selfupdate`` to fetch updated port definitions.
+
+The following command will install NFD using MacPorts:
+
+::
+
+ sudo port install nfd
+
+.. note::
+ You have to have XCode installed on your machine. For latest versions of OSX (Lion or
+ Mountain Lion) you can install it from AppStore for free, for older versions you have to
+ go to developer.apple.com and download old version of XCode that is appropriate for your
+ system.
+
+
+One of the advantages of using MacPorts is that you can easily upgrade NFD and other
+packages to the most recent version available. The following commands will do this job:
+
+::
+
+ sudo port selfupdate
+ sudo port upgrade nfd
+

+
+How to start using NDN PPA repository on Ubuntu Linux?
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+NFD binaries and related tools for Ubuntu 12.04, 13.10, and 14.04 can be installed using
+PPA packages from named-data repository. First, you will need to add ``named-data/ppa``
+repository to binary package sources and update list of available packages:
+
+::
+
+ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:named-data/ppa
+
+ # if you do not have add-apt-repository command installed:
+ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
+ sudo apt-get update
+
+After that, NFD can be easily installed in a standard way, i.e., either using ``apt-get`` as shown
+below or using any other package manager (e.g., Synaptic Package Manager):
+
+::
+
+ sudo apt-get install nfd
+
+For the list of available packages, refer to `NDN PPA repository
+<https://launchpad.net/~named-data/+archive/ppa>`_.

+NFD Overview
+============
-NFD - Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon
-=============================================
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 2
-Default Paths
--------------
+ RELEASE_NOTES
-This document uses ``SYSCONFDIR`` when referring to the default locations
-of various NFD configuration files. By default, ``SYSCONFDIR`` is set to
-``/usr/local/etc``. If you override ``PREFIX``, then ``SYSCONFDIR`` will
-default to ``PREFIX/etc``.
+NDN Forwarding Daemon (NFD) is a network forwarder that implements and evolves together
+with the Named Data Networking (NDN) `protocol
+<http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-tlv/>`__. After the initial release, NFD will become a core
+component of the `NDN Platform <http://named-data.net/codebase/platform/>`__ and will
+follow the same release cycle.
-You may override ``SYSCONFDIR`` and ``PREFIX`` by specifying their
-corresponding options during installation:
+NFD is developed by a community effort. Although the first release was mostly done by the
+members of `NSF-sponsored NDN project team
+<http://named-data.net/project/participants/>`__, it already contains significant
+contributions from people outside the project team (for more details, refer to `AUTHORS.md
+<https://github.com/named-data/NFD/blob/master/AUTHORS.md>`__). We strongly encourage
+participation from all interested parties, since broader community support is key for NDN
+to succeed as a new Internet architecture. Bug reports and feedback are highly
+appreciated and can be made through `Redmine site
+<http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd>`__ and the `ndn-interest mailing list
+<http://www.lists.cs.ucla.edu/mailman/listinfo/ndn-interest>`__.
-::
+The main design goal of NFD is to support diverse experimentation of NDN technology. The
+design emphasizes *modularity* and *extensibility* to allow easy experiments with new
+protocol features, algorithms, and applications. We have not fully optimized the code for
+performance. The intention is that performance optimizations are one type of experiments
+that developers can conduct by trying out different data structures and different
+algorithms; over time, better implementations may emerge within the same design framework.
- ./waf configure --prefix <path/for/prefix> --sysconfdir <some/other/path>
+NFD will keep evolving in three aspects: improvement of the modularity framework, keeping
+up with the NDN protocol spec, and addition of other new features. We hope to keep the
+modular framework stable and lean, allowing researchers to implement and experiment
+with various features, some of which may eventually work into the protocol spec.
-Refer to :ref:`NFD Installation Instructions` for more detailed instructions on how to compile
-and install NFD.
+The design and development of NFD benefited from our earlier experience with `CCNx
+<http://www.ccnx.org>`__ software package. However, NFD is not in any part derived from
+CCNx codebase and does not maintain compatibility with CCNx.
-Running and Configuring NFD
----------------------------
-NFD's runtime settings may be modified via configuration file. After
-installation, a working sample configuration is provided at
-``SYSCONFDIR/ndn/nfd.conf.sample``. At startup, NFD will attempt to read
-the default configuration file location: ``SYSCONFDIR/ndn/nfd.conf``.

+- Faces
+ Implements the NDN face abstraction on top of different lower level transport
+ mechanisms.
-Once again, note that you may simply copy or rename the provided sample
-configuration and have an **almost** fully configured NFD. However, this
-NFD will be unable to add FIB entries or perform other typical operation

+Getting Started with NFD
+========================
+
+A more recent version of this document may be available on `NFD Wiki
+<http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/Getting_Started>`_.
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 2
+
+ INSTALL
+
+Installing
+----------
+
+From source
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To install NFD from source:
+
+- install ``ndn-cxx`` according to `ndn-cxx installation
+ instructions <http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-cxx/0.1.0/INSTALL.html>`__
+- install ``NFD`` according to :doc:`these
+ instructions <INSTALL>`
+
+If downloading code using git, don't forget to checkout the correct
+branch for both ``ndn-cxx`` and ``NFD``
+
+::
+
+ git clone https://github.com/named-data/ndn-cxx
+ cd ndn-cxx
+ git checkout ndn-cxx-0.1.0
+ ...
+ # continue with ndn-cxx installation instructions
+
+ git clone https://github.com/named-data/NFD
+ cd NFD
+ git checkout NFD-0.1.0
+ ...
+ # continue with NFD installation instructions
+
+From binaries
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+On OSX, NFD can be installed with MacPorts. Refer to :ref:`How to start using NDN
+MacPorts repository on OSX` FAQ question for more details.
+
+On Ubuntu 12.04, 13.10, or 14.04, NFD can be installed from NDN PPA repository. Refer to
+:ref:`How to start using NDN PPA repository on Ubuntu Linux` FAQ question.
+
+
+Initial configuration
+---------------------
+
+.. note::
+ If you have installed NFD from binary packages, the package manager has already
+ installed initial configuration and you can safely skip this section.
+
+General
+~~~~~~~
+
+After installing NFD from source, you need to create a proper config file. If default
+location for ``./waf configure`` was used, this can be accomplished by simply copying the
+sample configuration file:
+
+::
+
+ sudo cp /usr/local/etc/ndn/nfd.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/ndn/nfd.conf
+
+NFD Security
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+NFD provides mechanisms to enable strict authorization for all management commands. In
+particular, one can authorize only specific public keys to create new Faces or change the
+forwarding strategy for specific namespaces. For more information about how to generate
+private/public key pair, generate self-signed certificate, and use this self-signed
+certificate to authorize NFD management commands refer to :ref:`How to configure NFD
+security` FAQ question.
+
+In the sample configuration file, all authorizations are disabled, effectively allowing
+anybody on the local machine to issue NFD management commands. **The sample file is
+intended only for demo purposes and MUST NOT be used in a production environment.**
+
+Running
+-------
+
+**You should not run ndnd or ndnd-tlv, otherwise NFD will not work
+correctly**
+
+Starting
+~~~~~~~~
+
+In order to use NFD, you need to start two separate daemons: ``nfd`` (the forwarder
+itself) and ``nrd`` (RIB manager that will manage all prefix registrations). The
+recommended way is to use `nfd-start` script:
+
+::
+
+ nfd-start
+
+On OS X it may ask for your keychain password or ask ``nfd/nrd wants to sign using key in
+your keychain.`` Enter your keychain password and click Always Allow.
+
+Later, you can stop NFD with ``nfd-stop`` or by simply killing the ``nfd`` process.
+
+
+
+Connecting to remote NFDs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To create a UDP or TCP tunnel to remote NFD and create route toward it,
+use the following command in terminal:
+
+::
+
+ nfdc register /ndn udp://<other host>
+
+where ``<other host>`` is the name or IP address of the other host
+(e.g., ``udp://spurs.cs.ucla.edu``). This outputs:
+
+::
+
+ Successful in name registration: ControlParameters(Name: /ndn, FaceId: 10, Origin: 0, Cost: 0, Flags: 1, ExpirationPeriod: 3600000 milliseconds, )
+
+The ``/ndn`` means that NFD will forward all Interests that start with ``/ndn`` through
+the face to the other host. If you only want to forward Interests with a certain prefix,
+use it instead of ``/ndn``. This only forwards Interests to the other host, but there is
+no "back route" for the other host to forward Interests to you. For that, you must go to
+the other host and use ``nfdc`` to add the route.
+
+The "back route" can also be automatically configured with ``nfd-autoreg``. For more
+information refer to `nfd-autoreg manpage
+<http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/manpages/nfd-autoreg.html>`_.
+
+Playing with NFD
+----------------
+
+After you installed, configured, and started NFD, you can try to install
+and play with the following:
+
+Sample applications:
+
+- `Simple examples in ndn-cxx
+ library <http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-cxx/0.1.0/examples.html>`__.
+ If you have installed ndn-cxx from source, you already have compiled
+ these:

+ + examples/producer
+ + examples/consumer
+ + examples/consumer-with-timer
+
+ + tools/ndncatchunks3

release, NFD will become a core component of the `NDN Platform
<http://named-data.net/codebase/platform/>`__ and will follow the same release cycle.
-NFD is developed by a community effort. Although the first release was mostly done by the
-members of `NSF-sponsored NDN project team
-<http://named-data.net/project/participants/>`__, it already contains significant
-contributions from people outside the project team (for more details, refer to `AUTHORS.md
-<https://github.com/named-data/NFD/blob/master/AUTHORS.md>`__). We strongly encourage
-participation from all interested parties, since broader community support is key for NDN
-to succeed as a new Internet architecture. Bug reports and feedback are highly
-appreciated and can be made through `Redmine site
-<http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd>`__ and the `ndn-interest mailing list
-<http://www.lists.cs.ucla.edu/mailman/listinfo/ndn-interest>`__.
-
-The main design goal of NFD is to support diverse experimentation of NDN technology. The
-design emphasizes *modularity* and *extensibility* to allow easy experiments with new
-protocol features, algorithms, and applications. We have not fully optimized the code for
-performance. The intention is that performance optimizations are one type of experiments
-that developers can conduct by trying out different data structures and different
-algorithms; over time, better implementations may emerge within the same design framework.
-
-NFD will keep evolving in three aspects: improvement of the modularity framework, keeping
-up with the NDN protocol spec, and addition of other new features. We hope to keep the
-modular framework stable and lean, allowing researchers to implement and experiment
-with various features, some of which may eventually work into the protocol spec.
-
-The design and development of NFD benefited from our earlier experience with `CCNx
-<http://www.ccnx.org>`__ software package. However, NFD is not in any part derived from
-CCNx codebase and does not maintain compatibility with CCNx.
