[Nfd-dev] Help needed with ASF measurement

[Lan Wang (lanwang)]

Junxiao,

Thank you very much for the quick feedback.

Ashlesh: have you found anything suspicious?

Hi Ashlesh

This is probably a forwarding pipelines bug, but I won't have time to diagnose this until at least Thursday.

Things to look at:

1. Find every code line that updates last renewed field.
2. Find which forwarding pipelines calls the function that updates last renewed field.
3. Determine if there's a code path that generates an out record without updating last renewed field.

Yours, Junxiao

Hi Junxiao


I am testing ASF in Mini-NDN.


The following line calculates the steady RTT by subtracting outRecord->getLastRenewed()

from time::steady_clock::now()

https://github.com/named-data/NFD/blob/master/daemon/fw/asf-measurements.cpp#L117

(which is called from beforeSatisfyInterest https://github.com/named-data/NFD/blob/master/daemon/fw/asf-strategy.cpp#L115)


Sometimes the value of this steadyRTT is huge (ex: 200000 seconds) or negative.

This makes ASF change faces to a higher RTT face.


So what could be the reason that this happening? I see much better and expected results if I ignore these high/negative values.


(I see that https://github.com/named-data/NFD/blob/master/daemon/table/pit-face-record.cpp#L34

initializes getLastRenewed to time::steady_clock::TimePoint::min(). So maybe for some reason getLastRenewed does not get updated?)


Thanks

Ashlesh
