Hi Tanusree

What’s the reason for “data packet is modified”?
For a transmission error due to line noise, the lower layer is responsible for detecting such error and drop the packet. NDNLPv2 will attempt to repair the packet loss by retransmitting the packet.
If there’s a malicious node on the path deliberately modifying the Data packet, NFD will not detect that because NFD neither has knowledge about the trust model, nor has the computation power to verify signatures. Consumer can re-express the Interest with an Exclude selector to exclude the bad Data, and hope the network can find a path to locate the good Data.

Yours, Junxiao

If consumer is not satisfied it has to send the same interest again, is there any other way out to get the data which may not been correctly received due to some modification.
