[ndnSIM] Strategy specific info

[Muktadir R Chowdhury (mrchwdhr)]

Hi Zhiyi,
Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, I tried it. It did not work on ndnSIM. When I have the variable as static, whenever the variable is getting updated, it is getting updated for all the nodes in the simulation. So at a time, all the nodes have the same value for this variable.

Hi Muktadir,

Can you add a static variable, say in your cpp file, and let your strategy class instance visit that global variable to change it?

Best,
Zhiyi

Hi Muktadir

Strategy is stateless. It can only attach measurements on namespaces under its control.
See Section 3.3 of original NDN paper https://named-data.net/publications/networkingnamedcontent/ for rationale of this design decision.
Thus, what you desire cannot be supported.

Yours, Junxiao

Hi,
I have written a strategy which needs to have states that are specific to the strategy, not to the namespace.

(1)  Lets say I have the following strategy:

NFD_REGISTER_STRATEGY(CustomStrategy);

class CustomStrategy : Strategy {

void
afterReceiveInterest() {
 cout << "v=" <<v << endl;
 v ++;
}

private:
 int v = 0;
}

I want the variable "v" to be Strategy specific.

(2) I set CustomStrategy for two prefixes, lets say "/a" and '/b".

(3) I send two interests under "/a", lets say "/a/1" and "/a/2". The value of "v" should be 2.
    v=0 and v=1 should be printed.

(4) Now I send one interest under "/b" ("/b/1"). I was expecting it to print v=2. But it printed v=0.

I guess the reason is , for two different namespace ("/a" and "/b"), two different instances of CustomStrategy is created. I have also tried adding this Strategy specific info in the Measurement Table, like it is done in ASF strategy<https://github.com/named-data/NFD/blob/master/daemon/fw/asf-measurements.hpp> But find out for different namespace, measurement entries are different. Can anyone give me suggestions what can I do here?
