[ndnSIM] Requesting Interface

[Spyridon (Spyros) Mastorakis]

Hi,

if you enable the nfd.Forwarder logging component, you will be able to see the face id of an incoming Interest, since this piece of information is available at the Forwarder class of NFD.

If you want to use this information somehow in run time, you will have to build some sort of API to pass it to your application.

FYI, this is where an incoming interest is processed by NFD:

Hope that this helps,
