Task #3082
Updated by Vince Lehman almost 10 years ago
Currently, any changes to the parameters in the NLSR configuration file require NLSR to be restarted to take effect.
Instead, NLSR should subscribe to a signal and reload the configuration file in a manner similar to NFD. This will allow a user to change link-costs without restarting the NLSR daemon.
Necessary changes:
* main.cpp - listen for SIGHUP signal to trigger configuration reload; on signal, reload configuration file and NLSR
* conf-file-processor.cpp - clear m\_nlsr.getAdjacencyList() and m\_nlsr.getNamePrefixList() before processing respective sections; this will allow for a reload to replace the previously loaded configuration
* nlsr.cpp - An Nlsr::reload method should be added to handle clean up or application of newly loaded configuration options
