[Ndn-interest] Testbed architecture

[Christos Papadopoulos]

Matteo,

Are you connected to the NDN testbed through a node local to you? If 
yes, you would send an interest to your local NDN node, and that node 
will in turn route your interest to the closest node that advertises the 
content you are looking for.

Remember that with NDN you no longer communicate with other nodes 
(unless they are named explicitly), you request content. Your Interest 
will be directed to the closest provider of the content, which may be 
your local node, if the content was cached there.

Now assuming that you requested content that is currently only available 
through a publisher in the US, then your local node will select a face 
to forward the Interest based on what NLSR (the NDN routing protocol) 
specifies. In many cases the face will use an IP tunnel to get to the 
next hop. Eventually your Interest will reach the US publisher through a 
series of hops determined by the routing protocol.

Not sure if this helps you, but I wanted to point out that in NDN the 
term "I want to communicate with a node in the US" is not meaningful.

Christos.
