# Boost libraries NFD requires [Boost libraries](http://www.boost.org/), a collection of free peer-reviewed C++ libraries. NFD should compile and work with [Boost 1.48.0](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/) 1.42.0](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/) and above. The following Boost libraries are approved to use in NFD: * [Asio](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html): [Asio](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html): portable networking * [Smart Ptr](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/smart_ptr/smart_ptr.htm): Ptr](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/smart_ptr/smart_ptr.htm): smart pointer * [Function](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/function.html): [Function](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/function.html): function object wrapper * [Bind](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/bind/bind.html): [Bind](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/bind/bind.html): bind function arguments * [Test](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html): [Test](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html): unit test framework, see also [[UnitTesting]] Other Boost libraries included in [Boost 1.48.0](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/) 1.42.0](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/) can be approved as necessary.
