Developer Guide: RIB Management
Added by Junxiao Shi over 10 years ago.
Updated over 10 years ago.
Description
Write RIB Management section of NFD Developer's Guide.
NFD Developer's Guide explains the internals of the NFD, and the target readers are people who may want to extend and improve NFD.
The hope is that after reading this guide, other developers would have good ideas of how NFD was designed and implemented, which will help them to plan any changes.
This section contains:
- the design and structure of the module
- the interaction between other modules
- explanation of major components of this module and their interactions
- figures to help understand the text
Write documentation in LaTeX format and submit to git@git.irl.cs.ucla.edu:papers/nfd-docs.git.
See this email for more details.

The section needs to document the current implementation choice for CHILD_INHERIT flags and make a reference that behavior may (will) change in the future versions.
Also. We should also describe how CAPTURE flag is handled (e.g., that it is set for the namespace if at least one RibEntry for the namespace sets it).

Documentation (and preferably the code) should use consistent terms with RibMgmt protocol.
- Route refers to a tuple of
- RIB entry refers to a collection of Routes at the same Name

So for example, should I change something like:

to (e.g., that it is set for the RibEntry if at least one route for the RibEntry sets it) ?
May be. If you do so, you should also define both Route and RIB entry in the doc.
Vince, can you spell out in the doc (what it is right now/what it should be) what exactly is the behavior when neither capture nor child inherit specified. As of right now I'm not even sure what I'm suppose to see.
