[ndnSIM] Interest is not re-broadcasted using the same wireless face in ndnSIM

[Jason Christian]

Hi, thank you for the reply.

I have traced back from the Strategy::sendInterest() to the
generic-link-service implementation and compare it between the mobile
package's implementation and the one from my machine and I cannot find any
differences. Can you also point out which particular commits I should pay
attention to?

Another thing I have seen from my custom strategy:
I checked the method violatesScope and wouldViolateScope from
https://github.com/4th-ndn-hackathon/ndnSIM-Mobile-Simulation-Package/blob/5714833ccce551cf4cd128967a21283bc3ed4319/NFD/daemon/fw/algorithm.cpp#L59,
and it will return true if the face used is a local face. In the custom
strategy extending from Strategy class, the outFace from the nextHopList is
always a local face. Perhaps is this the reason why the Interest packet is
not forwarded?

inFace is the face from the argument from afterReceiveInterest method
outFace is the face from the iteration of
fib::NextHopList::const_iterator, similar
to the Broadcast strategy (I based mine on that)

Note that the outFace on the consumer (a.k.a the first node) has non-local
face, and thus is able to forward Interest packets to nodes within range.
The outFace from the Producers (a.k.a 2nd - last nodes) always have local
face (from the debug msg). If so, how can I obtain the non-local face of
producer nodes?

Best Regards,
Jason
