[ndnSIM] Inconsistent number of sent packets

[Alex Afanasyev]

Can you send out scenario (or link to scenario), so I can try to debug the problem on my machine?

routingCost is basically an aggregated cost for the specific path.  If you're using globalRoutingController, it sums up all the specified metrics on the path.  For example, if you have this topology

node1 ------ node2 ------- node3 ------- node4

and all metrics for each link is 10, then routing cost on node1 to forward towards node4 using the only available face would be 30.

If you are using "EnableDefaultRoute" in ndn::StackHelper, then this value doesn't really mean anything and suggests only that this "default" is the least preferred option to forward interests.

I am not sure whether all the interests are consumed at the first attempt, but if that is a reason, the retransmitted Interest packets are not counted into "Tx Packets"? Besides, I am not sure about the meaning of routingCost column (2147483647) in FIB. Does it has something different from the 'metric' which affects the forwarding strategy to select the BestRoute? Could I specify it somewhere?

For example, I set the Interest frequency as 10 (packets per second) for 20 seconds, the result is the number of sent packets is 200 which is the same as theoretic value. But if I set the Interest frequency as 100 for 20 seconds, the simulation result is the number of sent packets is 1805 which is less than the theoretic value 2000. What is the possible reason for this phenomenon? (No packets are sent from other faces)
