[ndnSIM] relation between interface and connection

[Zeinab Rezaiefar]

Hello Alex and Spyridon,firstly I would like to say thanks for your helping and your nice explanation. I am using ndnsim version1. as you mentioned, in every node that I install application, I have another interface too. however, my problem is that how I can recognize the  difference between internal interface and the external interfaces ( interface which a node receives packet from its neighbors)  in the code?  since I decide to forward packets based on from which interface I have received this packet ( which shows which peer has sent this packet), it is so important for me to distinguish between internal and external interfaces.moreover, is there any field like hop-count that shows this message is from other nodes ( form the peer of the node ) and it is not generated by this node?I am looking forward to hearing  you.thanks in advancebest regards

 Hi Zeinab,

Which version of ndnSIM you're using.  For ndnSIM 1.0 your reasoning is almost correct.  There could also be face related to the application, if you have an application installed.  If a node doesn't have an application, then there should be just one face per simulated connection.

ndnSIM 2, in addition to faces that correspond to network interfaces and applications, there are also several internal faces (internal face for management, face to represent content store, null face).

In my point of view , this node should have one interface, however, when I print interface of the interest message that is received in forwarding function. ( using inFace->GetId () for interface related to the interest message and node->GetId () for the node id).  I recognized that node 1 received interest messages from interface1 and 0.
