Description

After a local application creates a prefix registration in the local forwarder via PrefixAnnouncement, how to decide whether the prefix should (1) stay in the local forwarder, or (2) propagate to the connected testbed router and advertised into the global routing system?

What should be the security model (or trust schema) for the testbed (or other global routing system) to verify the prefix announcement objects?

Some comments/thoughts from others (taken from the agenda/issue list on NDN workspace):

  1. trust schema works on a given system model
  2. we still need to answer the question of how the local host and local hub find each other
  3. with that, local hub fetches prefix announcement from the app
  4. local forwarder is not in the business of verifying all the data forwarded, why prefix announcement (a data packet) should be different?
