[Nfd-dev] How far that we can do inside NFD forwarding strategy virtual class?

[Mahyuddin Husairi]

Thanks for a reply. Seems like i have to play around the modification
(ndn-cxx and NFD patches) that you have done in your experiment in note 1
of 4279 <https://redmine.named-data.net/issues/4279> issue.

p/s - That quote is from Antitrust movie. One of my favorite movie related
to open source movement.
