[ndnSIM] Problem in Forwarding module

[Mortaza Nikzad]

Hi
thanks for your reply Spyridon.
I understand that this example is from ndnSIM-v.1, so I installed it and run the example there. It works well but with a customary forwarding strategy not best rout strategy. It would be good if the documentation about this example be correct. 
now my question is that why as a good rule of thumb did not use from received nack from upstream face to correct the chosen face? I try to follow it in my work.

I also understand the best rout forwarding strategy do not work well and actually do not choose the least cost link. I tested it in a simple topology as: one consumer, one producer and two path from consumer to producer with different data rate. I unexpectedly saw that the best rout chosen the worse path. Can anyone here tell me why? and is this problem related to forwarding strategy or route calculator?  
thanks

 Hi,
 the
 NFD congestion control implementation is still in progress
 as you can see here:
 https://redmine.named-data.net/issues/1624
 What
 you are looking for has not been implemented yet:
 https://redmine.named-data.net/issues/4363
 As a
 work-around for your own research, you can create a custom
 forwarding strategy that would keep track of the occupied
 link bandwidth and switch paths once a link is
 congested.
 Hope
 that this helps,

 Hi all
 I run
 ndn-congestion-alt-topo-plugin.cpp example with --visualize
 option to see how ndn utilize links in congestion situation
 but seems the forwarding module do not work correctly and
 all of packets transmitted through congested link!!! I
 checked the trace file too.
 has anyone an idea about this? 
 I also tested it with a
 different topology and receive the same incorrect result.
 my ndnSIM is clean and
 without any change. I installed it based on ndnSIM website
 instruction. 
 any idea
 can be usefull.
 thanks
