You can control this parameter either when you directly insert entries into FIB (<a href="http://ndnsim.net/doxygen/classns3_1_1ndn_1_1_fib.html#a62d58066a4e5f497513b795031100c91">http://ndnsim.net/doxygen/classns3_1_1ndn_1_1_fib.html#a62d58066a4e5f497513b795031100c91</a>), or if you're using ndn::GlobalRoutingController, this metric will be a sum of face metrics configured in the topology.</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div>Alex</div><div><br><div><div>On Nov 17, 2013, at 4:53 AM, xuejin <<a href="mailto:xue_jin@foxmail.com">xue_jin@foxmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Hi Alex,<br> In ndnSIM, there are three fowarding stategies(BestRoute, Flooding, SmartFlooding). When using the BestRoute, the Interest only be forwarded to Highest-Rank GREEN face or YELLOW face. Actually, I want to know how could you find the "Highest-Rank" GREEN or YELLOW? I can't find the define of "Highest-Rank". Maybe it just means the face which gets into the FIB earliest?
