Feature #4577
Updated by Junxiao Shi over 6 years ago
[Naming Conventions](https://named-data.net/publications/techreports/ndn-tr-22-ndn-memo-naming-conventions/) revision 1 encodes segment number, version number, timestamp, and sequence number as a GenericNameComponent where the TLV-VALUE has is a one-byte marker followed by a NonNegativeInteger. NDN Packet Format v0.3 introduces **typed name components**. They are intended to replace markers. This issue is to reserve reserved four NameComponent TLV-TYPE numbers for segment number, version number, timestamp, and sequence number, and publish a new revision of naming conventions document that use typed name components instead of markers. Implementation of such scheme will be separate issues.
