[Ndn-interest] Producer taking initiative to "Push" content to network.

[Muhammad Faran]

Dear Hassan,

Thank you for prompt response. Actually, I can define the scenario in
following two points:

1. As per application perspective, the producer needs to send content
whether it is needed or not by consumers. Or there can be archiving of the
content later after its production.
2. Due to requirements of the application, the network has to adapt to
push-based mechanism and might not be limited to only pull-based mechanism
where an interest MUST be issued to retrieve content.

What I've understood from your reply:

1. In vehicular environment, every node is performing as all in all. So do
every node does in normal environment to be content router, producer and
consumer, nothing different. But even in vehicular applications such as
monitoring, a producer that wants to use the network to just accommodate
its content may need to just push content.
2. According to my sense, channel utilization is the task of layers below
the "strategy layer" of NDN. Even for channel utilization, if content
routers are aware of the application needs then they have to accommodate
the content.

Kind regards,

Faran
