## Configuration File Format NLSR is configured using an [INFO file](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/boost_propertytree/parsers.html#boost_propertytree.parsers.info_parser). ## Example configuration ; the general section contains all the general settings for router general { ; mandatory 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 ; log-level is to set the levels of log for NLSR log-level INFO ; default value INFO, valid value DEBUG, INFO } ; the router section contains the configuration command section setting of network, site name ; and router. Router prefix is built by concatenating them as ; /<network>/<site>/<router> 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 ; 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 ; log-level is to set the levels of log for NLSR log-level INFO ; default value INFO, valid value DEBUG, INFO } ; the hello section describes the configuration settings for NLSR hello protocol hello { ; in case hello interest timed out, router will try 'retries' times at 'interval' seconds ; interval before giving up for any neighbors (deciding link is down) retries 3 ; interest retries number in integer. Default value 3 ; valid values 1-10 interval 1 ; interest sending interval in seconds. Default value 1 ; valid values 1-15 } ; the neighbors section contains the configuration for router's neighbors neighbors { ; 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 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 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 }
