NDN-Lite fragmentation
0%
Description
In NFD, implement a LinkService that supports NDN-Lite fragmentation protocol.
This allows NFD to interoperate with NDN-Lite.

The ndn-lite fragmentation header described on the wiki supports a maximum of 32 fragments (5-bit sequence number). This is not enough to fragment a large NDN packet to make it fit a very small MTU link. For example, IEEE 802.15.4 typically supports frames of up to 127 bytes, which means the network layer packet cannot be larger than 3968 bytes.

The goal of this issue is to interoperate with NDN-Lite for packets supported by both sides. This would mean a lower limit of "practical maximize L3 packet size", and the lack of Nack packets.
Packets not supported by NDN-Lite have to be dropped.
Comments on NDN-Lite protocol design belong to NDN-Lite issue tracker.

This is no longer relevant because NDN-Lite has been abandoned.
