Scope control for /localhop Interests
100%
Description
Develop a mechanism to restrict the propagation of Interests under /localhop namespace.
Rules¶
- Interest under /localhop can come from a local app or a remote host.
- If PIT entry under /localhop has at least one InRecord from a local app, it can be forwarded to local apps and remote hosts.
- If PIT entry under /localhop has all InRecords from remote hosts, it can only be forwarded to local apps.
- PIT entry under /localhop can be satisfied by Data from any source.
Breakdown¶
Face should have a property to tell whether it represents a local app.
PIT entry should have a method to tell whether at least one InRecord is from a local app.
Outgoing Interest pipeline should enforce the rules to restrict Interest propagation.
Strategy may understand this scope and make smart forwarding decision.

20140222 conference call decides to change namespace from /locallink to /link-local, which follows convention.
We discussed whether /link-local Interest can propagate to local apps:
- argument for inclusive scope (/link-local can propagate to local apps): when the consumer sends an Interest, it does not care where the Data comes from.
- argument for exclusive scope (/link-local can only go to remote nodes): the consumer needs precise control; a local producer might be malicious and is trying to fool the consumer.
No consensus was reached. The current rule is equivalent to CCNx Scope=2 (inclusive scope), and remains unchanged.

20140223 conference call again changes the namespace to /localhop, because its semantic is different from link-local in IP, so a different name should be used to avoid confusion.
Scope has two distinct meanings:
- vicinity: Name is relative to some anchor
- boundary: Data cannot leave a certain area
/localhop takes the first meaning. It only limits Interest propagation.

Outgoing Interest pipeline can enforce /localhop scope.
A later commit will make some of the strategies understand this scope.

Pipeline is merged. I'll work on strategies.
Design: PIT entry or strategy base class should have an attribute to determine whether forwarding to outFace would violate scope. Strategies can use this attribute to decide where to forward.

Strategies now understand scope control, and can also avoid forwarding an Interest back to its incoming Face.
