 This test case will run NFD, ndnpeek and ndn-traffic-server to check aggregation of interests by NFD. The following steps will be followed:
 
 1. Start NFD.
-2. Start ndn-traffic-server to serve ndn:/test-agg, with -d 2000 flag to delay response for 2000ms.
-3. Start two instances of ndnpeek to request ndn:/test-agg/A. Wait until they terminate. Fail if either is unanswered.
-4. Stop ndn-traffic-server. Fail if total served Interest does not equal 1.
-5. Start ndn-traffic-server to serve ndn:/test-agg, with -d 2000 flag to delay response for 2000ms.
-6. Start ndnpeek to request ndn:/test-agg/B ChildSelector=leftmost, and another instance to request ndn:/test-agg/B ChildSelector=rightmost. Wait until they terminate. Fail if either is unanswered.
-7. Stop ndn-traffic-server. Fail if total served Interest does not equal 2.
-8. Start ndn-traffic-server to serve ndn:/test-agg, with -d 2000 flag to delay response for 2000ms.
-9. Start ndnpeek to request ndn:/test-agg/C InterestLifetime=6000ms, and another instance to request ndn:/test-agg/C InterestLifetime=8000ms. Wait until they terminate. Fail if either is unanswered.
-10. Stop ndn-traffic-server. Fail if total served Interest does not equal 1.
+2. Set NFD to use the best-route v1 strategy.
+3. Start ndn-traffic-server to serve ndn:/test-agg, with -d 2000 flag to delay response for 2000ms.
+4. Start two instances of ndnpeek to request ndn:/test-agg/A. Wait until they terminate. Fail if either is unanswered.
+5. Stop ndn-traffic-server. Fail if total served Interest does not equal 1.
