Ad hoc mobile scenarios desire a lightweight routing protocol to propagate rapidly changing data reachability information in a highly dynamic environment. We are developing a distance-vector routing protocol that enables each node to selectively propagate a data reachability vector containing the named-data prefixes current reachable to their neighbors. In this report, we describe the implementation of NDVR (NDN Distance Vector Routing), discuss the rationale for the protocol design choices, and demonstrate a use case for the protocol to illustrate how the routing protocol can help NDN applications, especially in mobile ad-hoc scenarios.
