[Ndn-interest] [EXT] Questions about how to carry data package in interest package

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Lei

Interest packet should not carry payload. However, it has an
ApplicationParameters field.
A typical design is that, publish your payload as a Data packet, then put
the Data packet name in the ApplicationParameters field of the Interest.

A concrete example: suppose we want to send a command from the client to
the server.

   1. The client generates a Data packet /client-prefix/msg/4928 , puts the
   command in the Data payload, and signs the Data.
   2. The client sends an Interest /server-prefix/notify , and the
   ApplicationParameters contains the name /client-prefix/msg/4928 .
   3. The server sends an Interest /client-prefix/msg/4928 to retrieve the
   Data packet.
   4. The server verifies the signature of the payload Data packet, and
   executes the command.

This example is taken from ndn-python-repo source code
<https://github.com/JonnyKong/ndn-python-repo/blob/17c806a7ce9a9512f3dd32f110a6ccd72a6eee01/ndn_python_repo/utils/pubsub.py>.
They call it "pub sub", but the above is how it actually works.

Yours, Junxiao
