[ndnSIM] Multicast Strategy , strange behavior

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Ahmed

The multicast strategy is operating correctly when it forwards the Interest
toward all available upstream faces unless it's the sole downstream or
violates scope.
Whether the Data comes back or not has nothing to do with the correctness
of multicast strategy.

DeadNonceList entry lifetime is irrelevant because suppression occurs in
PIT entry, not in DNL.


When multiple consumers are expressing Interests with the same Name,
Selectors, and Link object (or absence of Link object), those Interests are
expected to carry distinct Nonces. See NDN Packet Format spec, Interest -
Nonce section. Those Interests will not be suppressed by duplication Nonce
detection because the Nonce is not duplicate.

Yours, Junxiao
