Have you run Mini-NDN? When you run it (sudo minindn), go and look into /tmp/a/nlsr.conf

and you will find that the log directory is /tmp/a/log/ which exists (check by cd /tmp/a/log).


In /tmp/a/nlsr.conf you will also find the neighbors of 'a' configured in the neighbors section.

https://github.com/named-data/NLSR/blob/master/nlsr.conf#L44


Also look at the router name of 'a' in /tmp/a/nlsr.conf

https://github.com/named-data/NLSR/blob/master/nlsr.conf#L9


If you open /tmp/b/nlsr.conf and look at the neighbors you would find the router name of 'a' configured there.


--------------------------------------------------

Now when you want to run NLSR independently of Mini-NDN you need to do these changes yourself (manually).

Suppose you have two machines a and b.


Make a new directory where you would want to store the log file of NLSR. Example:

/home/a/NLSR/logs.


Then put this path at:

https://github.com/named-data/NLSR/blob/master/nlsr.conf#L37

and at

https://github.com/named-data/NLSR/blob/master/nlsr.conf#L38


Change "pollux" in https://github.com/named-data/NLSR/blob/master/nlsr.conf#L9

to "a"


And in the neighbors section configure the neighbor b by putting its name and IP and link-cost.


Repeat the same for machine b.


Then you can run NLSR on both the machines who have each others as neighbors.

sorry as I'm new to nlsr
can you be more specific about what I have to do?
what do you mean by log directories that exist in neighbors...?
Thank you

You will need to configure nlsr.conf with log directories that exist and neighbors.
