RibMgmt: Origin for remote and automatic registration
Added by Junxiao Shi almost 10 years ago.
Updated almost 10 years ago.
Description
RibMgmt Origin field has these choices currently: static, nlsr, app.
However, none of these choices fits the following scenarios:
- a laptop connects to a HUB, and it sends a prefix registration command to the HUB (using
ndn:/localhop/nfd/rib prefix)
- a laptop connects to a HUB, and the
nfd-autoreg server on a HUB automatically registers a Route toward the laptop
- a laptop connects to a HUB, and the
ndn-autoconf tool registers a prefix toward the HUB
This Task proposes to define three additional values for Origin field:
- client: indicates a Route toward a client node attached to this router, installed via remote registration
- autoreg: indicates a Route toward a client node attached to this router, registered automatically by this router
- autoconf: indicates a Route toward a HUB from the laptop, registered automatically by the
ndn-autoconf tool
- Blocks Bug #1710: nfd-autoreg uses FIB management protocol instead of RIB management added
- Priority changed from Normal to Urgent
I plan to use these numerical codes:
I'll work on this Task once the proposal is approved.
Numbers seem fine. The only change I would do is rename "client" to "autoconf", so it reflects who exactly created the entries (client is too broad).
autoconf isn't a good choice, because we haven't decided ndn-autoconf shall perform remote registration.
There are other proposals for remote registration, such as letting RIB Daemon or even certain apps on laptop to send remote registration command.
I'm not sure how autoconf is related to the remote registration. In any case, this name only appears in documentation, so we just need to specify which app (logical process) is responsible for these routes. Numbers are fine and this issue should be closed after origin IDs are documented in the spec.
- Description updated (diff)
autoconf will have numeric code 66.
