[Ndn-interest] Usefulness of routing protocol?

[Dennis Olvany]

Lixia,

The NDN papers that I have read thus far seem to suggest that a router
receives an interest on a given face and then forwards the interest out of
its other faces. My impression is that this occurs at each router in the
network until the interest reaches the origin. As the data returns to the
client, all routers will learn the path based on the data incoming face.
Routers could then cease flooding once there is a known path. Clearly, my
understanding may be incorrect as I have only been researching NDN for a
week.
