[ndnSIM] Forwarder's onIncomingInterest

[John Baugh]

Junxiao,

What is interesting to me is when I obtain the Forwarder object from say,
one of the consumers, it seems that the method onIncomingInterest is called
for however many times the interest would be sent (e.g., 300 times for rate
of 10/sec for 30 seconds in simulator.)

It is at the router (my node 1) that it only appears to call the
onIncomingInterest once there.

So would a solution be to set the size/limit of content stores of the
consumers to 0? Or do I need a custom policy to purge their CSs so they
keep sending the same interest?

I'm unclear what you mean by interest aggregation in this situation.

My ultimate goal is to be able to have the router receive many interests
for various content objects.  The router tracks frequency per face for each
content object requested.

Thanks

John

That's correct.

If it is a management Interest (under /localhost/nfd prefix), check your
FIB setup.
If it is an application Interest, and if you are sending the same Interest
over and over from the consumer apps as mentioned in
http://www.lists.cs.ucla.edu/pipermail/ndnsim/2017-June/003870.html , this
is caused by Interest aggregation and Data caching at the consumer NFD.
When multiple consumer apps send the same Interest, only one is forwarded
to the router, and the Data will be returned to all applications.
Afterwards, the Data is in the consumer NFD's cache and will be used to
satisfy future Interests of the same name.

Yours, Junxiao
