Feature #4443
Updated by Davide Pesavento about 6 years ago
Introduce a *Parameters* *payload* field in the Interest packet at network layer. This field is intended to carry information intended to be "uploaded" from consumer to producer, such as command parameters in NFD [[nfd:Management]] protocol. The benefit of having the Parameters payload field is to avoid sending back a potentially large blob in the Data response. The protocol definition must take care to ensure the uniqueness of Interest Name, such as by appending a typed component (#4440) containing a digest of the Parameters. payload. This issue involves protocol updates and forwarding procedure designs only. Implementation in forwarder and libraries shall be separate issues.
