[Mini-NDN] Timeouts in MiniNDN

[Andre]

Hi


I am running a simple experiment generating traffic between nodes in the 
following topology, where all links have 10ms delay and 10mbits/s of 
bandwidth.



I am running the default producer and consumer-with-timer from the 
ndn-cxx examples to randomly generate traffic flow between nodes. I am 
having an issue where, after a few seconds of only successful transfers, 
every consumer starts timing out on every request.

When each consumer requests a packet every 100 milliseconds, I get about 
20 timeouts for every successful transfer. As I raise this period, 
things get better and by a period of 1 second, I get no timeouts. So it 
seems that there is some limitation to how much can be consumed or produced.

So I am wondering, why does this happen? Is it a limitation of the 
consumer or the producer from ndn-cxx? Or is it related to the network 
emulation?


Thanks in advance,

André Dexheimer Carneiro
