Is this really the long term plan? If so, it would be a major problem
for us too. V-NDN heavily relies on the ability to cache unsolicited
Data packets that are overheard on the wireless channel, disallowing
it will break this V-NDN functionality.

So I'm asking to provide a way to enable unsolicited Data caching in
NFD. A simple per-face boolean flag would do the job, and the
performance impact of an additional "if" would be negligible.

This makes sense, although this decision could be delegated to an
independent class (or function) that encapsulates the eviction policy,
instead of being hardcoded in the CS code.

Thanks,
