[ndnSIM] The prefix in the CS

[John Baugh]

Junxiao et al.,

Thank you for your response.  That does clarify things a bit.  Would the
best option to, in your words, "program/configure your consumer to send out
Interests with same names" be to subclass Consumer (or one of its
subclasses) and override one of the methods?

1.  I cannot seem to find where the randomization of the values such as
%FE%C3 are being appended to "/prefix/" before the interest is sent.  Does
anyone know where this would be?

2.  I suppose that my goal is to have a particular Consumer object request
say, /prefix/1 multiple times, maybe interspersed with say, prefix/2 or
others (but from a finite, reasonably predictable set of options.  Thoughts?

3,  I assume if I do (2) even with different Nonces, the producer, cache,
etc. will consider anything with /prefix/1 to be a single requested content
object, correct?

4.  I would also assume that it's unlikely the Producer would need
modified, if you specify that the producer handles "/prefix/" then,
anything starting with that should be responded to with content, correct?

Thanks,

John
