You didn't show the detail, but if you have used "Lru" policy for the limit, then this would be the core problem---whenever limit is reached, you would evict an older entry, instead of keeping it and rejecting new interest. I suspect that you will get more reasonable results if you change to "Persistent" policy (which is actually a default).</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div>Alex</div><br><div><div>On Feb 26, 2014, at 5:43 AM, Hovaidi Ardestani Mohammad <<a href="mailto:mohammad.hovaidi.ardestani@aalto.fi">mohammad.hovaidi.ardestani@aalto.fi</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div ocsi="0" fpstyle="1" style="font-family: Menlo-Regular; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"><font size="2">Hi all,<br>I have a basic question about PIT size and its role to control the traffic flow.<br><br>In my scenario when I change the PIT size into the lower value, the result shows more DropData.<br>I reckon the small size of PIT means the small number of data requests and consequently the small number of DropData but large number of InterestData.
