Description

Scenario

App wants to register a more general prefix, but make use of library's dispatch mechanism to invoke different handler based on Name.

Proposed change

Have two methods on Face class:

  • RegisteredPrefix* registerPrefix(Name, successCallback, failureCallback)
    Send a prefix registration command using NRD Prefix Registration protocol.
    The return value allows app to unregister the prefix.
  • InterestFilter* setInterestFilter(Name, interestHandler)
    Cause Face to dispatch Interest under Name to interestHandler.
    The return value allows app to cancel the filter.

To get Interest into an handler, app needs to:

  1. registerPrefix to get Interest into the Face
  2. setInterestFilter to get Interest into the handler

  • Tracker changed from Task to Feature

This feature becomes more relevant when we see 4 RIB entries registered by repo-ng.

repo-ng calls setInterestFilter once for each command verb. This results in one RIB entries per command.

After this feature is implemented, repo-ng could register only one RIB entry covering all commands, and still use the dispatching mechanism provided by setInterestFilter.
