[ndnSIM] About NotifyNewAggregate

[Spyridon (Spyros) Mastorakis]

Hello Marco,

please use the “reply to all” option, so that your questions are visible to the list.

ndnSIM 2.0 uses the forwarding features of NFD. I think that the instructions in my first message are useful for your goal. Moreover, you need to the change the forwarding strategy structure, so that to follow the general structure of the forwarding strategies of NFD. For example, you can take a look at the best-route forwarding strategy:

https://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM/blob/master/NFD/daemon/fw/best-route-strategy2.cpp
https://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM/blob/master/NFD/daemon/fw/best-route-strategy2.hpp

You will need to move the code of your strategy under the directory NFD/daemon/fw and add your strategy in the NFD/daemon/fw/available-strategies.cpp script.

Since i need to code that strategy to be compatible for version 2, i’d like to know if there is a way/method that i can override so that i can place the call to foo() method and achieve the same effect that i would as if I still had the NotifyNewAggregate method. I hope i could explain my self.

Please be more specific in the way that you want to use this method, so that I can provide some helpful piece of advice.
