| 5 | ## Example configuration |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | ; the router section contains the setting of network, site name |
||
| 8 | ; and router name which all together makes router-prefix |

||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | hello |

||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | host cs.castor.memphis.edu ; hostname or ip address of neighbor router |
||
| 44 | link-cost 20.6 ; cost of the connecting link to neighbor |
||
| 45 | } |
||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | ; interest-retry command is used to configure the interval of hello interest and number |
||
| 48 | ; of retry interests before a router gives up in case of interest timed out |
||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | interest-retry |
||
