[Nfd-dev] network_region in nfd.conf file

[Dehart, John]

All:

i am trying to understand how the network_region is used.
Here is the text from nfd.conf.sample:

  ; Declare network region names
  ; These are used for mobility support.  An Interest carrying a Link object is
  ; assumed to have reached the producer region if any delegation name in the
  ; Link object is a prefix of any region name.
  network_region
  {
    ; /example/region1
    ; /example/region2
  }


As a specific example, lets take the two nodes on the campus of UCLA: REMAP and UCLA.
The current default prefix for UCLA is:     /ndn/edu/ucla
The current default prefix for REMAP is: /ndn/edu/ucla/remap

Should they both declare a network region of /ndn/edu/ucla
or should REMAP be more specific and declare /ndn/edu/ucla/remap?

If they both declare a network region of /ndn/edu/ucla does that imply that
there MUST be a link between the two nodes?

Thanks,
John
