Detailed Description

Self-learning forwarding strategy.

This strategy first broadcasts Interest to learn a single path towards data, then unicasts subsequent Interests along the learned path.

◆ afterReceiveInterest()

void nfd::fw::SelfLearningStrategy::afterReceiveInterest ( const Interest interest,
const FaceEndpoint ingress,
const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry 
)
overridevirtual

Trigger after an Interest is received.

The Interest:

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

The PIT entry is set to expire after InterestLifetime has elapsed at each downstream.

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

  • If the strategy decides to forward this Interest, invoke sendInterest() for each upstream, either now or shortly after via a scheduler event, but before the PIT entry expires. Optionally, the strategy can invoke setExpiryTimer() to adjust how long it would wait for a response.
  • If the strategy has already forwarded this Interest previously and decides to continue waiting, do nothing. Optionally, the strategy can invoke setExpiryTimer() to adjust how long it would wait for a response.
  • If the strategy concludes that this Interest cannot be satisfied, invoke rejectPendingInterest() to erase the PIT entry.
Warning
The strategy must not retain a copy of the pitEntry shared_ptr after this function returns, otherwise undefined behavior may occur. However, the strategy is allowed to construct and keep a weak_ptr to pitEntry.

Implements nfd::fw::Strategy.

◆ afterReceiveData()

void nfd::fw::SelfLearningStrategy::afterReceiveData ( const Data data,
const FaceEndpoint ingress,
const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry 
)
overridevirtual

trigger after Data is received

This trigger is invoked when an incoming Data satisfies exactly one PIT entry, and gives the strategy full control over Data forwarding.

When this trigger is invoked:

  • The Data has been verified to satisfy the PIT entry.
  • The PIT entry expiry timer is set to now

Inside this function:

  • A strategy should return Data to downstream nodes via sendData() or sendDataToAll().
  • A strategy can modify the Data as long as it still satisfies the PIT entry, such as adding or removing congestion marks.
  • A strategy can delay Data forwarding by prolonging the PIT entry lifetime via setExpiryTimer(), and later forward the Data before the PIT entry is erased.
  • A strategy can collect measurements about the upstream.
  • A strategy can collect responses from additional upstream nodes by prolonging the PIT entry lifetime via setExpiryTimer() every time a Data is received. Note that only one Data should be returned to each downstream node.

In the base class, this method invokes beforeSatisfyInterest() and then returns the Data to all downstream faces via sendDataToAll().

Warning
The strategy must not retain a copy of the pitEntry shared_ptr after this function returns, otherwise undefined behavior may occur. However, the strategy is allowed to construct and keep a weak_ptr to pitEntry.

◆ afterReceiveNack()

void nfd::fw::SelfLearningStrategy::afterReceiveNack ( const lp::Nack nack,
const FaceEndpoint ingress,
const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry 
)
overridevirtual

Trigger after a 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.

If the PIT entry is not yet satisfied, its expiry timer remains unchanged. Otherwise, the PIT entry will normally expire immediately after this function returns.

If the strategy wishes to collect responses from additional upstream nodes, it should invoke setExpiryTimer() within this function to prolong the PIT entry lifetime. If a Nack arrives from another upstream during the extended PIT entry lifetime, this trigger will be invoked again. At that time, the strategy must invoke setExpiryTimer() again to continue collecting more responses.

In the base class, this method does nothing.

Warning
The strategy must not retain a copy of the pitEntry shared_ptr after this function returns, otherwise undefined behavior may occur. However, the strategy is allowed to construct and keep a weak_ptr to pitEntry.
