## Repo protocol
5
6
**Repo protocol** is semantics and operating process for persistent storage node in NDN. The operation of NDN repo includes reading from, insertion to and deleting from data objects in NDN repository nodes.
7
8
**Repo protocol** conforms to **[[Repo Protocol Specification|Repo Protocol Specification]]** for operating and controlling, including a set of repo management protocols:
9
10
- **[[Repo Command]]** defines the request and response formats of commands that can insert or remove data from repo, and how these commands should be signed and authenticated.
11
- **[[Basic Repo Insertion Protocol]]** defines format of insertion of a single or collection of Data packets.  In addition to the basic protocol, repo-ng implements several other insertion protocols:
12
13
    + **[[Watched Prefix Insertion Protocol]]** defines a protocol to insert continuously generated data
14
    + **[[Tcp Bulk Insert Repo Insertion Protocol]]** defines a simple TCP-based protocol to insert Data packets in bulk (e.g., from a producer on the same host)
15
16
- **[[Repo Deletion Protocol]]** defines format of deletion of a single or collection of Data packets under certain prefix

## repo-ng
19
20
**repo-ng** (repo-new generation) is an implementation of NDN persistent in-network storage conforming to **Repo protocol**. It uses [ndn-cxx](http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/ndn-cxx) as NDN client library and database sqlite3 as underlying data storage.

### current supported functions
36
37
Most parts of the protocol are supported in repo-ng. The following specifications are not supported in current version.
38
39
* For deletion command, if EndBlockId is null in RepoCommandParameter, repo cannot response all the segmented data from StartBlockId
40
* Command for checking deletion progress
41
42
Trust model of command validation and access control have not been designed. All the commands are validated in current version and all the commands could pass.
