Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Strategy()

nfd::fw::Strategy::Strategy ( Forwarder forwarder)
explicit

construct a strategy instance

Parameters
forwardera reference to the forwarder, used to enable actions and accessors.
Note
Strategy subclass constructor should not retain a reference to the forwarder.

Member Function Documentation

◆ registerType()

template<typename S >
static void nfd::fw::Strategy::registerType ( const Name strategyName = S::getStrategyName())
inlinestatic

register a strategy type

Template Parameters
Ssubclass of Strategy
Parameters
strategyNamestrategy program name, must contain version
Note
It is permitted to register the same strategy type under multiple names, which is useful in tests and for creating aliases.

Definition at line 48 of file strategy.hpp.

◆ canCreate()

bool nfd::fw::Strategy::canCreate ( const Name instanceName)
static
Returns
whether a strategy instance can be created from instanceName
Parameters
instanceNamestrategy instance name, may contain version and parameters
Note
This function finds a strategy type using same rules as create , but does not attempt to construct an instance.

Definition at line 84 of file strategy.cpp.

◆ create()

unique_ptr< Strategy > nfd::fw::Strategy::create ( const Name instanceName,
Forwarder forwarder 
)
static
Returns
a strategy instance created from instanceName
Return values
nullptrif !canCreate(instanceName)
Exceptions
std::invalid_argumentstrategy type constructor does not accept specified version or parameters

◆ areSameType()

bool nfd::fw::Strategy::areSameType ( const Name instanceNameA,
const Name instanceNameB 
)
static
Returns
whether instanceNameA and instanceNameA will initiate same strategy type

Definition at line 106 of file strategy.cpp.

◆ listRegistered()

std::set< Name > nfd::fw::Strategy::listRegistered ( )
static
Returns
registered versioned strategy names

Definition at line 112 of file strategy.cpp.

◆ getStrategyName()

static const Name& nfd::fw::Strategy::getStrategyName ( )
static
Returns
strategy program name

The strategy name is defined by the strategy program. It must end with a version component.

◆ getInstanceName()

const Name& nfd::fw::Strategy::getInstanceName ( ) const
inline
Returns
strategy instance name

The instance name is assigned during instantiation. It contains a version component, and may have extra parameter components.

Definition at line 110 of file strategy.hpp.

◆ afterReceiveInterest()

virtual void nfd::fw::Strategy::afterReceiveInterest ( const Face inFace,
const Interest interest,
const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry 
)
pure virtual

trigger after Interest is received

The Interest:

  • does not violate Scope
  • is not looped
  • cannot be satisfied by ContentStore
  • is under a namespace managed by this strategy

The strategy should decide whether and where to forward this Interest.

  • If the strategy decides to forward this Interest, invoke this->sendInterest one or more times, either now or shortly after
  • If strategy concludes that this Interest cannot be forwarded, invoke this->rejectPendingInterest so that PIT entry will be deleted shortly
Warning
The strategy must not retain shared_ptr<pit::Entry>, otherwise undefined behavior may occur. However, the strategy is allowed to store weak_ptr<pit::Entry>.

Implemented in nfd::fw::BestRouteStrategy2, nfd::fw::AccessStrategy, nfd::fw::asf::AsfStrategy, nfd::fw::MulticastStrategy, nfd::fw::NccStrategy, and nfd::fw::BestRouteStrategyBase.

◆ beforeSatisfyInterest()

void nfd::fw::Strategy::beforeSatisfyInterest ( const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry,
const Face inFace,
const Data data 
)
virtual

trigger before PIT entry is satisfied

This trigger is invoked when an incoming Data satisfies the PIT entry. It can be invoked even if the PIT entry has already been satisfied.

In this base class this method does nothing.

Warning
The strategy must not retain shared_ptr<pit::Entry>, otherwise undefined behavior may occur. However, the strategy is allowed to store weak_ptr<pit::Entry>.

Reimplemented in nfd::fw::AccessStrategy, nfd::fw::asf::AsfStrategy, and nfd::fw::NccStrategy.

Definition at line 152 of file strategy.cpp.

References nfd::face::Face::getId(), ndn::Data::getName(), and NFD_LOG_DEBUG.

◆ beforeExpirePendingInterest()

void nfd::fw::Strategy::beforeExpirePendingInterest ( const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry)
virtual

trigger before PIT entry expires

PIT entry expires when InterestLifetime has elapsed for all InRecords, and it is not satisfied by an incoming Data.

This trigger is not invoked for PIT entry already satisfied.

In this base class this method does nothing.

Warning
The strategy must not retain shared_ptr<pit::Entry>, otherwise undefined behavior may occur. However, the strategy is allowed to store weak_ptr<pit::Entry>, although this isn't useful here because PIT entry would be deleted shortly after.

Definition at line 160 of file strategy.cpp.

References NFD_LOG_DEBUG.

◆ afterReceiveNack()

void nfd::fw::Strategy::afterReceiveNack ( const Face inFace,
const lp::Nack nack,
const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry 
)
virtual

trigger after Nack is received

This trigger is invoked when an incoming Nack is received in response to an forwarded Interest. The Nack has been confirmed to be a response to the last Interest forwarded to that upstream, i.e. the PIT out-record exists and has a matching Nonce. The NackHeader has been recorded in the PIT out-record.

In this base class this method does nothing.

Warning
The strategy must not retain shared_ptr<pit::Entry>, otherwise undefined behavior may occur. However, the strategy is allowed to store weak_ptr<pit::Entry>.

Reimplemented in nfd::fw::BestRouteStrategy2, nfd::fw::asf::AsfStrategy, and nfd::fw::MulticastStrategy.

◆ onDroppedInterest()

void nfd::fw::Strategy::onDroppedInterest ( const Face outFace,
const Interest interest 
)
virtual

trigger after Interest dropped for exceeding allowed retransmissions

In the base class this method does nothing.

Definition at line 174 of file strategy.cpp.

References nfd::face::Face::getId(), ndn::Interest::getName(), and NFD_LOG_DEBUG.

◆ sendInterest()

void nfd::fw::Strategy::sendInterest ( const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry,

void nfd::fw::Strategy::rejectPendingInterest ( const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry)
inlineprotected

Parameters

Parameters

headerNack header

The outFace must have a PIT in-record, otherwise this method has no effect.

protected

Parameters
pitEntryPIT entry
headerNACK header
exceptFaceslist of faces that should be excluded from sending Nacks
Note
This is not an action, but a helper that invokes the sendNack action.

construct a strategy instance name

Parameters
inputstrategy instance name, may contain version and parameters
strategyNamestrategy name with version but without parameters; typically this should be getStrategyName()

If input contains a version component, return input unchanged. Otherwise, return input plus the version component taken from strategyName. This allows a strategy instance to be constructed with an unversioned name, but its final instance name should contain the version.
