Bug #5179
Updated by Ashlesh Gawande over 2 years ago
To reproduce in Mini-NDN with attached topology:
```
mini-ndn> wu nlsrc advertise /test
Applied Name prefix update successfully: (Advertise: /test)
mini-ndn> neu nfdc fib | grep test
/test nexthops={faceid=268 (cost=28), faceid=266 (cost=38), faceid=271 (cost=44)}
mini-ndn> memphis nlsrc advertise /test
Applied Name prefix update successfully: (Advertise: /test)
mini-ndn> neu nfdc fib | grep test
/test nexthops={faceid=266 (cost=21), faceid=268 (cost=26), faceid=271 (cost=42)}
```
Withdraw prefix:
```
mini-ndn> memphis nlsrc withdraw /test
Applied Name prefix update successfully: (Withdraw: /test)
```
Expected (the same as when Wu first advertised):
```
mini-ndn> neu nfdc fib | grep test
/test nexthops={faceid=268 (cost=28), faceid=266 (cost=38), faceid=271 (cost=44)}
```
Actual:
```
mini-ndn> neu nfdc fib | grep test
mini-ndn>
```
The reason is that we are sorting NexthopList by cost and not by Uri.
Fib update function first adds add all the hops given to it by NamePrefixTable.
Then it determines what hops to remove by doing a set_difference.
The set_difference is done as: existing set (from previous registration that Fib keeps track of) - prefixes added now.
Here the hops are the same (faceUri wise) but different in cost (which is what is used as comparison function).
So we result with hops needed to be removed same as what were added (since the costs are different between each hop):

We should just compare on faceUris here.
