NDN Naming Conventions revision 1 convention defines two segmenting markers: 0x00 and 0xFB. 0x00 is the segment number marker. Segments of a content are assigned consecutive segment numbers. It is commonly used in many applications, including ndnputchunks, NDNFS, and PSync. 0xFB is the byte offset marker. Segments of a content are given this marker followed by payload's byte offset within the content. segmenting marker/component. We are unaware of any application that adopts the 0xFB byte offset marker. this marker/component. Moreover, unless using a manifest, with the consumer cannot predict the removal of Exclude selector, byte offset of every segment, and thus hinders the efficiency of segmented content retrieval because pipelining cannot be used. retrieved without using a manifest. This issue is to discontinue this segmenting marker/component in the specification. Code changes belong to separate issues.
