[Ndn-interest] nfd_0.6.0

[Eric Newberry]

Giuseppe,

The reliability system doesn't use NACKs, but rather acknowledges 
received packets with a positive acknowledgement and considers a packet 
lost (and needing to be retransmitted) if the sender does not receive an 
Ack for a packet. It can also detect gaps in acknowledged sequence 
numbers and uses these to trigger a retransmission.

Also, the reliability system takes place at the level of an individual 
connection from one host to the next (the NDN link layer, or NDNLPv2) 
and not on the span from a consumer to a producer. Therefore, 
retransmissions will not take place when the consumer receives a 
notification like "OnInterestUnsatisfied", as this occurs above the link 
layer. I believe you may be looking at the NACK documentation, which I 
believe states that the consumer application has the option to 
retransmit an Interest when it is NACK'd. The documentation for NDNLPv2, 
including the reliability system can be found here:
