[ndnSIM] problem with dropping Interest message

[Zeinab]

Hi Cesar,
Thank you so much for nice and kind helps. You gave me good choices .
Moreover, I would like to say that I have installed ndnsim version 1, Since it has forwarding-strategy file. After modifying this file to drop interest message i did not receive any error.
Thanks
Best regards
Zeinab

This means that they’re not control interests, unless (1) you have two applications talking together on the same node therefore the interests between them will be sent to internal faces, or (2) there are some control interests that are actually transmitted between different nodes.
> Modify the interest structure and add a DROP flag. This flag is set by consumer’s application based on the random number you mentioned before. If a forwarder receives an interest with this flag set, it will be dropped. Make sure the default value of this flag is ‘0’. This means that only the interests coming out of your application might have flag set, and all other interests (including control ones) will have flag unset.
> Modify the interest structure to add a flag APPLICATION. This flag will be set in your application to indicate that the interest is coming from the application layer. Also, the default value of this flag should be ‘0’. In this case, you can distinguish between control and application interests in the forwarder and apply your policy on the ones coming from applications.
