Description

Inheritance flags affect the computation of next hops for a prefix. The default flag for registered RIB routes is capture, but this is not advertised to other routers.

It is possible for someone to register a route in NFD that gets readvertised into NLSR with child_inherit flags, but for that flag not to be honored in advertisements.

  • NLSR would be able to inform other routers about the route flags associated with a given prefix.
  • NLSR would consider these flags when computing next hops for a prefix.

Updated by Nicholas Gordon over 7 years ago

  • Tracker changed from Task to Feature
  • Subject changed from Advertised name should be configured with flag to Include route flags in advertised names
  • Description updated (diff)
  • Priority changed from High to Normal
  • Target version set to v0.5.0

The original description by Hoque:

name is advertised by following way

advertising
{
; to advertise name prefixes owned by or directly reachable by the router,
; configure one block of prefix configuration command for every name

prefix /ndn/edu/memphis/cs/netlab ; name in ndn URI format
prefix /ndn/edu/memphis/sports/basketball
}

If flag is configurable then we should also change the configuration format. What about below format? Default value for flag is
catch.

advertising
{
; to advertise name prefixes owned by or directly reachable by the router,
; configure one block of prefix configuration command for every name

prefix
{
name /ndn/edu/memphis/cs/netlab ; name in ndn URI format
flags catch ; default value catch. Allowed value inherit and catch
}

prefix
{
name /ndn/edu/memphis/sports/basketball
}
}

Any suggestion?

This has been discussed a few times, but no one seems to know what this issue is about. It will be a floating task until we figure out what it was for.
