ccnd tables¶

FIB is organized as a tree that is stored in a hashtable, and also contains runtime measurement information.
PIT is stored in a hashtable, where each PIT entry is linked to a FIB entry.
See ccnd FIB and PIT data structure for details.

See ccnd ContentStore data structure for details.
