Description

Topology: A,B,C connected on the same Ethernet switch

Steps to reproduce:

  1. run Wireshark or tcpdump to observe traffic
  2. start NFD on A,B,C with UDP multicast enabled
  3. on host B, run ndn-traffic-server to server ndn:/test-mcast
  4. on host A, add FIB entry ndn:/test-mcast toward UDP multicast face
  5. on host A, run ndn-tlv-peek to request ndn:/test-mcast/B/1

Actual: after B sends a Data packet to the multicast group, C repeats the Data packet to the multicast group

Expected: C does not repeat the Data packet

Relevant log lines from C:

  • Estimated time set to 4.00 h

This problem is caused by:

  1. C receives the Interest but cannot forward it, so BestRouteStrategy rejects it
  2. PIT entry is kept for loop detection purpose "for a short while"
  3. matching Data arrives
  4. C thinks the PIT entry is still active, and does not check whether inFace equals pending downstream
  5. Data is sent

Similar problem exists for unicast face.
