Variable Documentation

const Name nfd::scope_prefix::LOCALHOP

ndn:/localhop

The localhop scope limits propagation to no further than the next node.

Interest packets under prefix ndn:/localhop are restricted by these rules:

• Interest can come from a local face or a non-local face.
• If PIT entry has at least one in-record from a local face, it can be forwarded to local faces and non-local faces.
• If PIT entry has all in-records from non-local faces, it can only be forwarded to local faces.
• PIT entry can be satisfied by Data from any source.

Data packets under prefix ndn:/localhop are unrestricted.

const Name nfd::scope_prefix::LOCALHOST

ndn:/localhost

The localhost scope limits propagation to the applications on the originating host.

Interest and Data packets under prefix ndn:/localhost are restricted by these rules:

• Interest can come from and go to local faces only.
• Data can come from and go to local faces only.
