Detailed Description

represents the Dead Nonce list

The Dead Nonce List is a global table that supplements PIT for loop detection. When a Nonce is erased (dead) from PIT entry, the Nonce and the Interest Name is added to Dead Nonce List, and kept for a duration in which most loops are expected to have occured.

To reduce memory usage, the Interest Name and Nonce are stored as a 64-bit hash. There could be false positives (non-looping Interest could be considered looping), but the probability is small, and the error is recoverable when consumer retransmits with a different Nonce.

To reduce memory usage, entries do not have associated timestamps. Instead, lifetime of entries is controlled by dynamically adjusting the capacity of the container. At fixed intervals, the MARK, an entry with a special value, is inserted into the container. The number of MARKs stored in the container reflects the lifetime of entries, because MARKs are inserted at fixed intervals.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

nfd::DeadNonceList::DeadNonceList ( const time::nanoseconds &  lifetime = DEFAULT_LIFETIME)
explicit

constructs the Dead Nonce List

Parameters
lifetimeduration of the expected lifetime of each nonce, must be no less than MIN_LIFETIME. This should be set to the duration in which most loops would have occured. A loop cannot be detected if delay of the cycle is greater than lifetime.
Exceptions
std::invalid_argumentif lifetime is less than MIN_LIFETIME
