Changes since version 0.2.0
Release date: February 2, 2015
New features:
- Build
- The code now requires C++11. The minimum supported gcc version
is 4.6, as earlier versions do not have proper support for C++11
features.
- Faces
- Enable detection of WebSocket connection failures using
ping/pong messages (Issue 1903)
- In EthernetFace:
- Avoid putting the NIC in promiscuous mode if possible (Issue 1278)
- Report packets dropped by the kernel if debug is enabled
(Issue 2441)
- Integrate NDNLP fragmentation (Issue 1209)
- Forwarding
- Strategy versioning (Issue 1893)
- New Dead Nonce List table to supplement PIT for loop detection
(Issue 1953)
- Abstract retransmission suppression logic (Issue 2377)
- New forwarding strategy for access router (Issue 1999)
- Management
- Add config file-based strategy selection (Issue 2053)
The sample config file now includes strategy selection for /,
/localhost, /localhost/nfd, and /ndn/broadcast namespaces as
follows:
tables
{
...
strategy_choice
{
/ /localhost/nfd/strategy/best-route
/localhost /localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast
/localhost/nfd /localhost/nfd/strategy/best-route
/ndn/broadcast /localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast
}
}
