Configuration File Format¶
NLSR is configured using an INFO file.
Example configuration¶
; the router section contains the setting of network, site name
; and router name which all together makes router-prefix
router
{
; mandatory configuration command section
network /ndn ; name of the network the router belongs to in ndn URI format
site /memphis.edu ; name of the site the router belongs to in ndn URI format
router /cs/pollux ; name of the network the router belongs to in ndn URI format
}
; the hello section describes the configuration settings for NLSR hello protocol
hello
{
; in case hello interest timed out, router will try 'retrials' times at 'interval' seconds
; interval before giving up for any neighbors (deciding link is down)
retrials 3 ; interest retry number in integer. Default value 3
; valid values 1-10
interval 1 ; interest sending interval in seconds. Default value 1
; valid values 1-15
; neighbor command is used to configure router's neighbor. Each neighbor will need
; one block of neighbor command
neighbor
{
name /ndn/memphis.edu/cs/castor ; name prefix of the neighbor router consists
; of network, site-name and router-name
face-uri udp://castor.cs.memphis.edu ; face id of the face connected to the neighbor
link-cost 20.6 ; cost of the connecting link to neighbor
}
}
; the synchronization section contains all the configuration settings for router's update
; synchronization with neighbors in the network
synchronization
{
; all routers in the network must have same sync-prefix. Routers synchronizes routing updates
; in this prefix across the network. This prefix is routable to each neighbor from every router
sync-prefix /ndn/nlsr/sync ; name in URI format. Default value /ndn/nlsr/sync
; lsa-refresh-time is the time in seconds, after which router will refresh its LSAs
lsa-refresh-time 1800 ; default value 1800. Valid values 240-7200
}
; the hyperbolic section contains the configuration settings of enabling a router to calculate
; routing table using [hyperbolic routing table calculation](http://arxiv.org/abs/0805.1266) method
hyperbolic
{
; commands in this section follows a strict order
; the switch is used to set hyperbolic routing calculation in NLSR
state off ; default value 'off', set value 'on' to enable hyperbolic routing table
; calculation which turns link state routing 'off'. set value to 'dry-run"
; to test hyperbolic routing and compare with link state routing.
radius 123.456 ; radius of the router in hyperbolic coordinate system
angle 1.45 ; angle of the router in hyperbolic coordinate system
}
; the fib section is used to configure fib entry's type to ndn FIB updated by NLSR
fib
{
; the tunnel configuration is used to set the tunnel type of the FIB entries by NLSR
tunnel-type udp ; default tunnel type is 'udp', set value to 'tcp' for TCP tunnel
; the max-faces-per-prefix is used to limit the number of faces for each name prefixes
; by NLSR in ndn FIB
max-faces-per-prefix 3 ; default value 0. Valid value 0-60. By default (value 0) NLSR adds
; all available faces for each reachable name prefixes in NDN FIB
}
; the advertising section contains the configuration settings of the name prefixes
; hosted by this router
advertising
{
; the ndnname is used to advertised name from the router. To advertise each name prefix
; configure one block of ndnname configuration command for every name prefix.
prefix /ndn/edu/memphis/cs/netlab ; name in ndn URI format
prefix /ndn/edu/memphis/sports/basketball
}
