|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | Vince Lehman | |
| 3 | 16 | Davide Pesavento | LSDB datasets are published in the namespace `/$ROUTER_NAME/lsdb` and `/localhost/lsdb`.  |

| 5 | 1 | Vince Lehman | ## LSAs  | 
| 6 | 2 | Vince Lehman | |
| 7 | All LSAs have 3 fields in common represented by an **LsaInfo** block:  | 
||
| 8 | 1 | Vince Lehman | |
| 9 | LsaInfo := LSA-TYPE TLV-LENGTH  | 
||
| 10 | 12 | Ashlesh Gawande | Name  | 
| 11 | 1 | Vince Lehman | SequenceNumber  | 
| 12 | 12 | Ashlesh Gawande | ExpirationTime  | 
| 13 | 1 | Vince Lehman | |
| 14 | SequenceNumber := SEQUENCE-NUMBER-TYPE TLV-LENGTH  | 
||
| 15 | 16 | Davide Pesavento | NonNegativeInteger  | 
| 16 | 1 | Vince Lehman | |
| 17 | 12 | Ashlesh Gawande | ExpirationTime(Point) is the time according to the sender when the LSA will expire.  | 
| 18 | 1 | Vince Lehman | |
| 19 | 17 | Alexander Lane | Additionally, all three utilize the following encoding for double-precision floating point numbers in differing fields:  | 
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Double := DOUBLE-TYPE TLV-LENGTH(=8)  | 
||
| 22 | double-precision floating-point number in binary64 format as defined in IEEE 754  | 
||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | 1 | Vince Lehman | ## Adjacency LSAs  | 
| 25 | 12 | Ashlesh Gawande | |
| 26 | 16 | Davide Pesavento | All Adjacency LSAs in the LSDB are published as a [[NFD:StatusDataset|Status Dataset]] at `/$ROUTER_NAME/lsdb/adjacencies` and `/localhost/lsdb/adjacencies`.  |

| 40 | 1 | Vince Lehman | ## Coordinate LSAs  | 
| 41 | |||
| 42 | All Coordinate LSAs in the LSDB are published as a [[NFD:StatusDataset|Status Dataset]] at `/$ROUTER_NAME/lsdb/coordinates` and `/localhost/lsdb/coordinates`.  |

| 48 | 1 | Vince Lehman | |
| 49 | HyperbolicRadius := HYPERBOLIC-RADIUS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH  | 
||
| 50 | Double  | 
||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | HyperbolicAngle := HYPERBOLIC-ANGLE-TYPE TLV-LENGTH  |
