[Nfd-dev] Interest lifetime for NFD command interests

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Jeff,

I agree completely with this for prefix registration commands.  I would say, there is no much value/reason to make the lifetime longer than, say, a second.  Could be shorter, but on some extremely busy systems (like our Jenkins slave), even a simple registration may take some time.

For face creation, lifetime should be longer that 4 seconds since it can take some time to create some tunnels (e.g., TCP).  We even have a redmine issue for that (http://redmine.named-data.net/issues/1455)
