Hi Prajjwal


I want to set a size limit for PIT and also provide a replacement mechanism

This is part of congestion control. See
https://redmine.named-data.net/issues/5060 and its attachments for some
ideas.

Pit::findOrInsert is an implementation detail.
It's called by:
🔸 Pit::insert, used during Interest processing.
🔸 Pit::find, used during Nack processing.

2) When I try to tweak the above mentioned function to not insert the

GDB can tell you why it's crashing.
