| This file describes how self-learning forwarding strategy is tested. |
| |
| Installation/Configuration: |
| |
| - Install two NFDs (A and B) with the self-learning forwarding strategy |
| |
| - Configure two NFDs to be connected: either both NFDs have to be connected to the same multicast-capable network (they effectively will communicate over it) or faces between two nodes have to be configured and maintained for communication |
| |
| - Enable `localhop_security` by editing nfd.conf file for both NFDs |
| |
| Execution: |
| |
| - Run NFD, and choose self-learning forwarding strategy for name prefix /sl on both NFDs with this command: |
| `nfdc strategy set /sl /localhost/nfd/strategy/self-learning` |
| |
| - Run ndnpingserver on node A to serve /sl: `ndnpingserver /sl` (Install ndn-tools first) |
| |
| - Run ndnping on node B for /sl: `ndnping /sl` |
| |
| Results: |
| |
| - ndnping works |
| |
| - run command `nfdc route` to show the newly added route that follows the following format: |
| `prefix=/sl/ping nexthop=<faceID> origin=prefixann cost=2048 flags=child-inherit expires=<duration>` |
| |
| - in NFD logs (with DEBUG level enabled), the first Interest is sent to all faces, while the subsequent Interests are sent to only one face |
