Establishing Adjacencies with neighbors¶

1. NLSR sends periodic "info" interest to establish adjacencies with configured neighbor¶

2. "Info" interest is sent in name "/neighbor/name/info/router-prefix"¶

• /neighbor/name is the name of neighbor
• /router/prefix is name prefix of sending router

3. If NLSR get "info" interest reply, it changes neighbor status to "Active"-1 in Adl¶

4. Else it tries "interest-retry" times at "interest-resend-time" interval before considering Fully "inactive"¶

5. If NLSR has already tried "interest-retry" times before then it will try once periodically¶

6. When replying "info" interest¶

• Router checks whether "info" interest is received from one of the configured neighbor, if yes reply or do nothing
• If "info" is received from "inactive" neighbor then NLSR sends "info" interest to that neighbor to establish adjacency with it
