Member Function Documentation

◆ afterContentStoreHit()

void nfd::fw::Strategy::afterContentStoreHit ( const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry,
const FaceEndpoint ingress,
const Data &  data 
)
virtualinherited

Trigger after a Data is matched in CS.

In the base class this method sends data to ingress

Definition at line 162 of file strategy.cpp.

◆ afterNewNextHop()

void nfd::fw::Strategy::afterNewNextHop ( const fib::NextHop nextHop,
const shared_ptr< pit::Entry > &  pitEntry 
)
virtualinherited

Trigger after new nexthop is added.

The strategy should decide whether to send the buffered Interests to the new nexthop. In the base class, this method does nothing.

Definition at line 208 of file strategy.cpp.

◆ afterReceiveData()

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

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

Within 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 forward 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 trigger and then returns the Data to downstream faces via sendDataToAll.

Reimplemented in nfd::fw::SelfLearningStrategy.

Definition at line 172 of file strategy.cpp.

◆ afterReceiveInterest()

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

Trigger after 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 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 shared_ptr<pit::Entry>, otherwise undefined behavior may occur. However, the strategy is allowed to store weak_ptr<pit::Entry>.

Implements nfd::fw::Strategy.

Definition at line 63 of file ncc-strategy.cpp.

◆ afterReceiveNack()

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

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.

If the PIT entry is not yet satisfied, its expiry timer remains unchanged. Otherwise, the PIT entry normally would 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 retain the PIT entry. If a Nack arrives from another upstream during the extended PIT entry lifetime, this trigger will be invoked again. At that time, this function must invoke setExpiryTimer again to continue collecting more responses.

In the 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::SelfLearningStrategy, nfd::fw::BestRouteStrategy2, nfd::fw::asf::AsfStrategy, nfd::fw::RandomStrategy, and nfd::fw::MulticastStrategy.

◆ areSameType()

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

Definition at line 108 of file strategy.cpp.

◆ beforeSatisfyInterest()

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

Trigger before PIT entry is satisfied.

This trigger is invoked when an incoming Data satisfies more than one PIT entry. The strategy can collect measurements information, but cannot manipulate Data forwarding. When an incoming Data satisfies only one PIT entry, afterReceiveData is invoked instead and given full control over Data forwarding. If a strategy does not override afterReceiveData, the default implementation invokes beforeSatisfyInterest.

Normally, PIT entries would be erased after receiving the first matching Data. 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 Data arrives from another upstream during the extended PIT entry lifetime, this trigger will be invoked again. At that time, this function must invoke setExpiryTimer again to continue collecting more responses.

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>.

const Name &  strategyName 
)
staticprotectedinherited

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.

const Interest &  interest 
)
virtualinherited
