[Ndn-interest] Forwarding with partial match

Hi Tanusree

Interest is never required to exactly match a name prefix served by a
router as indicated in a FIB entry. Instead, the FIB entry name is a prefix
of the Interest name, if that's what you meant by "partial match". For
example, Interest /A/B/1 can be forwarded according to the FIB entry /A.

On the other hand, if an Interest name can only match a part of the FIB
entry name (for example, Interest /A/B/1 vs FIB entry /A/B/1/d), the
Interest does not match the FIB entry at all. If that's the case, in wide
area network, the Interest cannot be forwarded, and a Nack would be
returned to downstream with reason NoRoute. In local area network, a switch
may opt to flood the Interest

in order to locate a node that has the content.

Yours, Junxiao
