Build LSAs¶

NLSR builds and advertises three kinds of LSA¶

• Prefix LSA
• Adjacency LSA
• Coordinate LSA

Prefix LSA¶

• Advertises reachable name prefixes from this router
• Name /<network>/NLSR/LSA/<site>/<router>/name/<version>
• Data: number of names(n), name1, ....., name n

Adjacency LSA¶

• Advertises connectivity status (Active neighbors)
• Name /<network>/NLSR/LSA/<site>/<router>/adjacency/<version>
• Data: Number of links (n), link1 ( name of neighbor 1, link cost 1), ......link n (name of neighbor n, link cost n)

Coordinate LSA¶

• Advertises geometric co-ordinates of router (Radius and Angle)
• Name /<network>/NLSR/LSA/<site>/<router>/coordinate/<version>
• Data: Hyperbolic Radius, Hyperbolic Angle
