[ndnSIM] Send Data from NFD to Scenario

Sat Feb 28 18:42:57 PST 2015

Hi Cesar,

I am not sure that I have fully understand what you want to do and its purpose. However, I can clarify that the StrategyChoiceHelper sends special signed Interest commands to the Strategy Choice Manager of NFD in order to define the desired strategy for a specific namespace. For more info, you take a look here:

For the second part of the question, let me clarify that your scenario should define all the desired parameters and then just be simulated. Again, I have not fully understand what you would like to do, but probably it would be useful for you to use signals to trigger events:

Hope that this helps.

What I’m trying to do, is to have something similar to TracedCallBack that a specific strategy invokes and my scenario implements. I don’t think this can be done using the old fashion TracedCallBack though.
