[Ndn-interest] Send multiple Interests in parallel

[Davide Pesavento]

Hi Raphaël,

I'm assuming you're using ndn-cxx, since you mention the processEvents function?

In ndn-cxx, processEvents() is used to "enter" the event processing
loop, any number of events/callbacks may be outstanding when the event
loop is entered. In other words, you can express several interests
before calling processEvents(). You can also use the ndn::Scheduler
class to schedule the execution of a function at a future point in
time.

Lastly, please note that blindly sending hundreds of interests per
second without proper congestion control may overwhelm the network
and/or the receiver(s).

Best,
Davide

When I say “parallel”, that means that my consummer does not want to wait for the answer of the previous Interest to send the next one. My problem is that the “processEvents” function used in most consumer examples is a blocking function (it waits for the data, NACK or timeout). What I did is that I instantiate a new thread for each Interest sending. But I get some problems of resource allocations because it seems that the created threads are not freed. I am pretty sure that there is a more proper way to do this, but I don’t get it.
