[Nfd-dev] NFD choosing one route only

[Hila Ben Abraham]

Hi Mohammad,

The forwarding strategy is the one making the next hop selection. Under the
assumption that you are using the default best-route strategy, the next hop
would be determined by the face cost and not by the link latency. According
to my understanding, If both links have the same cost then the strategy
would choose the first face listed in the FIB.

You can use:
nfdc register -c <cost1> /ndn udp://10.71.102.53
nfdc register -c <cost2> /ndn udp://10.71.103.63

with cost1>cost2 to achieve your expected behavior when using best-route.

Hila
