5 | ## Example configuration |
||
6 | |||
7 | ; the router section contains the setting of network, site name |

9 | |||
10 | router |
||
11 | { |
||
12 | network |
||
13 | { |
||
14 | name /ndn ; name prefix of the network router belongs to |
||
15 | } ; must be in ndn URI format |
||
16 | |||
17 | site-name |
||
18 | { |

||
25 | } ; must be in ndn URI format |

27 | |||
28 | ; the hello section describes the configuration settings for NLSR hello protocol |
||
29 | |||
30 | hello |

32 | ; neighbor command is used to configure router's neighbor. Each neighbor will need |
||
33 | ; one block of neighbor command |
||
34 | |||
35 | neighbor |
||
36 | { |
||
37 | name /ndn/memphis.edu/cs/castor ; name prefix of the neighbor router consists |
||
38 | ; of network, site-name and router-name |
||
39 | |||
40 | host cs.castor.memphis.edu ; hostname or ip address of neighbor router |
||
41 | link-cost 20.6 ; cost of the connecting link to neighbor |
||
42 | } |
||
43 | |||
44 | ; interest-retry command is used to configure the interval of hello interest and number |
||
45 | ; of retry interests before a router gives up in case of interest timed out |
||
46 | |||
47 | interest-retry |
||
48 | { |
||
49 | number 3 ; interest retry number in integer. Default value 3 |
||
50 | ; valid values 1-10 |
||
51 | |||
52 | interval 10 ; interest sending interval in seconds. Default value 1 |

55 | } |
||
56 | |||
57 | ; the synchronization section contains all the configuration settings for router's update |

58 | ; synchronization with neighbors in the network |
||
59 | |||
60 | synchronization |

61 | { |
||
62 | 2 | A K M Mahmudul Hoque | ; all routers in the network must have same sync-prefix. Routers synchronizes routing updates |
63 | ; in this prefix across the network. This prefix is routable to each neighbor from every router |

65 | sync-prefix |
||
66 | { |
||
67 | 2 | A K M Mahmudul Hoque | name /ndn/nlsr/sync ; name in URI format. Default value /ndn/nlsr/sync |
