There are many events that you can "override" in your extension. Check API docs for the full list of events (<a href="http://ndnsim.net/doxygen/classns3_1_1ndn_1_1_forwarding_strategy.html">http://ndnsim.net/doxygen/classns3_1_1ndn_1_1_forwarding_strategy.html</a>) and source code for more details.</div><div><br></div><div>Are you talking about something related to per-outgoing-face limiting? You can check out the implementation of forwarding strategy extension <a href="https://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM/blob/master/model/fw/per-out-face-limits.h">https://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM/blob/master/model/fw/per-out-face-limits.h</a> which can use any limit based on ndn::Limits class (<a href="https://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM/blob/master/utils/ndn-limits.h">https://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM/blob/master/utils/ndn-limits.h</a>).</div><div><br></div><div>There are currently two types of limits implemented: ns3::ndn::Limits::Window and ns3::ndn::Limits::Rate (<a href="http://ndnsim.net/fw.html#strategies-with-interest-limits">http://ndnsim.net/fw.html#strategies-with-interest-limits</a>). In your case you would probably need an extended version of ns3::ndn::fw::PerOutFaceLimits strategy with modified version of ns3::ndn::Limits::Window limits.</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div>Alex</div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Feb 7, 2013, at 12:35 PM, Yifeng Li <<a href="mailto:yifengl@email.arizona.edu">yifengl@email.arizona.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Hi Alex,<br><br>Does the forwarding strategies apply to every face?

Hello Alex,<br><br>If I were to incorporate NACKs in the forwarding scheme, e.g. receiving NACK => window reduce, where would I modify that? Would it still be within the forwarding strategy extension or should I modify the function that handles NACKs in general? If it's the latter, where is this function?<br><br><div class="im HOEnZb">Thanks for your help,<br>Yifeng<br><br><br></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_quote">

As this is an application, the only communication channel to/from l3 protocol is through application face and registered callback (actually, to send from app, you always need to use callback).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Wouldn't extension of the forwarding strategy be a better fit for your needs? Inside the forwarding strategy you have full control to which faces you want to send messages.</div><div><br></div><div>

<br><blockquote type="cite">Hi Alex,<br><br>I have a question regarding the ndnSIM apps. I'm trying simulate something similar to hop by hop TCP, e.g. every node receives interests, buffers them and then sends them out with typical TCP fashion (AIMD). I'm looking at ndn-consumer-window.cc, specifically in ConsumerWindow::ScheduleNextPacket. I see a send event is scheduled, and Consumer::SendPacket is called, but where in SendPacket is the packet actually sent? Can I specify a face to send? Also when receiving interests, are the interests buffered somewhere?<br>
