[Nfd-dev] Update on questions about NLSR capture flags

[Alexander Wilhelm Lane (awlane)]

Good afternoon,

Realized I had forgotten to follow up on this at the NDN call this week.

Currently, the behavior in NLSR regarding prefix inheritance is to set locally advertised prefixes/prefixes from Name LSAs to have the capture flag set, along with the various router/LSA/sync prefixes. This was called into question, and I suspect that the original change which implemented this is most partially incorrect as it cited this Redmine issue specifically (https://redmine.named-data.net/issues/1841) which would not entail setting those flags for advertised prefixes, just the ones related to NLSR function. I believe I found the point in the code where this is being set and should just be able to modify it to not set the capture flag on locally advertised prefixes/prefixes from Name LSAs, but I wanted to get feedback before submitting such a change.

Thanks,
Alex Lane
