[Nfd-dev] Querying pending Interest in PIT.

[Anil Jangam]

Hello Junxiao,

I think it is not always necessary (or possible) that content location is
already known. I am sure there are such situations (e.g. mobility). I agree
with you that if the location is already known, it should be installed into
the RIB (that's the most obvious action for sure), but it is applicable for
the new incoming Interest traffic which eventually becomes pending. I am
trying to address the already pending ones. I hope I am more clear.

For now, lets assume that application is aware of where the content is.
Question is: how can it query PIT for pending interests and guide them to
the correct source?
