[Nfd-dev] NDN-RTC poke Data to CS

[Giovanni Pau]

Hi all,

I tend to disagree with Junxiao position on this matter

We need the Unsolicited data and unsolicited data caching specifically on on the vehicular environment or  NDN becomes basically useless in this environment,   NFD shall provide a mechanism to enable unsolicited data on request. 

Thanks
