**Control Command** is a mechanism of [[Management|NFD Management protocol]]. This mechanism is useful for altering the state of the forwarder.
4 28 Davide Pesavento
This document defines the request and response format of such commands, and how they should be signed and authenticated.

## Request format
7 9 Anonymous
8 26 Junxiao Shi
Control commands are [[ndn-cxx:CommandInterest|Command Interests]] under a NFD management prefix.
9 1 Junxiao Shi
10 22 Junxiao Shi
The Name for a request Interest has the following form:
11 1 Junxiao Shi
12 26 Junxiao Shi
    /<prefix>/<management-module>/<command-verb>/<control-parameters>/<command-interest-components>
13 1 Junxiao Shi
14 23 Junxiao Shi
* *prefix* is a NFD management prefix.
15
  Unless otherwise noted, all commands use `/localhost/nfd` prefix.
16
  Each individual command MAY specify additional prefixes under which that command could be accepted.
17 22 Junxiao Shi
* *management-module* is the name of management module to which the command needs to be dispatched.
18
* *command-verb* is the command to be executed.
19
* *control-parameters* is a ControlParameters TLV block wrapped in a NameComponent.
20 26 Junxiao Shi
* *command-interest-components* are four additional components defined by [[ndn-cxx:CommandInterest|Command Interest]] spec.

72 1 Junxiao Shi
Each individual command MUST specify:
73 13 Junxiao Shi
74
* a list of required fields: those fields MUST be present
75
* a list of optional fields: those fields MAY be present
76 28 Davide Pesavento
* the semantics of each required and optional field
77 13 Junxiao Shi
78 1 Junxiao Shi
A field that is neither required nor optional for a command MUST NOT be present in a ControlParameter given to that command.
79
80 17 Junxiao Shi
Each individual command MAY impose additional constraints on certain fields.

### StatusCode
101 2 Junxiao Shi

* Codes between 100 and 399 represent a success.
105
* Codes between 400 and 499 represent a client error.
106
* Codes between 500 and 599 represent a server error.
