Hello everyone,
I was running some experiments for a course project and was using NDN traffic generator to measure of the performance and how each factor contributes to the performance of the NFD.
However, I noticed something weird during the experiments.

When having the interestlifetime=100ms and the freshness period=100ms same between the runs, and also the contents of the data packet being the same, I ran the traffic generator for different burst rates. Here are the rates

>1 interest / second -----> RTT=71ms and InterstLoss = 20%
>10 interests/second------> RTT=27ms and interestLoss = 1%
> 100 interests/second -------> RTT=13ms and interestLoss = 0%
>1000 interests/second ------>RTT=22ms and interestLoss=0%

So I was wondering why would the roundtrip time decrease with increase in Interest rate?? I have a feeling this has something do with the traffic generator logger code, which isn't reporting the RTT properly...

Also I see a interest loss when the Interest rate is lower, which is completely weird. I was expecting the interest loss to be higher when there was a burst of interests but this is opposite to what I was expecting.

Any help would be appreciated with this!

Have you set the option MustBeFresh to be true in the client's configuration file?  If so, your observation is due to your freshness period setting and interval between Interests.  If the sending rate is 1/s, then all of the Interests will have to fetch new data from the producer (because the data is expired when the new Interest comes).  The higher the sending rate, the more likely that the data in the local cache or an intermediate cache is fresh and the Interest does not have to go all the way to the producer.
