| 5 | 4 | Junxiao Shi | **Strategy Choice Management** is a module of [[Management|NFD Management protocol]]. |
| 6 | It provides: |
||
| 7 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 8 | 4 | Junxiao Shi | * commands to choose the forwarding strategy for a namespace |
| 9 | 5 | Junxiao Shi | * a dataset of strategy choices |
| 10 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 11 | 7 | Junxiao Shi | Strategy Choice Management commands and datasets are available under namespace `ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy-choice`. |

| 14 | 12 | Davide Pesavento | ## Strategies |
| 15 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 16 | 8 | Junxiao Shi | A strategy is identified by a name. |
| 17 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 18 | 8 | Junxiao Shi | NFD currently supports the following strategies: |
| 19 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 20 | 17 | Davide Pesavento | * `ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/best-route` |
| 21 | * `ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/access` |
||
| 22 | * `ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/asf` |
||
| 23 | * `ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/multicast` |
||
| 24 | * `ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy/self-learning` |
||
| 25 | 15 | Davide Pesavento | |
| 26 | 17 | Davide Pesavento | Each strategy may have one or more versions. The strategy version is increased when there is a major behavior change; bug fixes usually will not bump the strategy version. The version component is appended to the strategy name. |
| 27 | 8 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 28 | 17 | Davide Pesavento | A strategy may accept parameters as name components. Parameters are always optional. They may be appended to the strategy name after the version component. Whether a strategy accepts parameters and the syntax and semantics of the parameters are defined by each strategy. |

| 31 | 4 | Junxiao Shi | ## Control Commands |
| 32 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 33 | 4 | Junxiao Shi | [[ControlCommand]] **management-module**: `strategy-choice` |
| 34 | 3 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 35 | 4 | Junxiao Shi | ### Set the strategy for a namespace |
| 36 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 37 | 4 | Junxiao Shi | **command-verb**: `set` |
| 38 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 39 | ControlParameters fields: |
||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | * Name (required) |
||
| 42 | 14 | Davide Pesavento | * Strategy (required) |
| 43 | |||
| 44 | 17 | Davide Pesavento | *Name* is the name prefix on which the strategy is selected. A forwarder MAY impose a limit on the length of name prefix. The current limit in NFD is 32 name components. If *Name* exceeds this limit, the command fails with code 414. |
| 45 | 6 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 46 | 17 | Davide Pesavento | *Strategy* must be a Name that identifies a strategy. It could be either an unversioned name to instantiate the latest version of a strategy, or a versioned name to instantiate a specific version. If the chosen strategy accepts parameters, they may be appended after a versioned name. |
| 47 | |||
| 48 | 14 | Davide Pesavento | If *Strategy* does not match any registered strategy, the command fails with code 404. |
| 49 | In case of error during strategy initialization (such as unacceptable parameter), the command fails with code 409. |
||
| 50 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 51 | 17 | Davide Pesavento | If the command succeeds, \<Body> in ControlResponse block contains the updated ControlParameters: |
| 52 | 6 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 53 | * Name: unchanged |
||
| 54 | 14 | Davide Pesavento | * Strategy: strategy instance name, which always contains a version component and MAY contain the parameters' name components |
| 55 | 6 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 56 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | ### Unset the strategy for a namespace |
| 57 | |||
| 58 | **command-verb**: `unset` |
||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | ControlParameters fields: |
||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | 4 | Junxiao Shi | * Name (required) |
| 63 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 64 | 17 | Davide Pesavento | After this operation, the effective strategy at *Name* is inherited from the parent. |
| 65 | If there is no strategy defined at *Name*, this command does nothing but is still considered successful. |
||
| 66 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 67 | 14 | Davide Pesavento | *Name* MUST NOT be `ndn:/`, otherwise the command fails with code 400. |
| 68 | 5 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 69 | |||
| 70 | ## Strategy Choice Dataset |
||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | Strategy choices for namespaces are published as a [[StatusDataset|Status Dataset]] at `ndn:/localhost/nfd/strategy-choice/list`. |
||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | 16 | Davide Pesavento | Each choice is represented by a **StrategyChoice** element: |
| 75 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 76 | 16 | Davide Pesavento | StrategyChoice = STRATEGY-CHOICE-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 77 | Name |
||
| 78 | Strategy |
||
| 79 | 5 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 80 | * **Name** is the namespace on which a strategy is chosen. |
||
| 81 | * **Strategy** is the strategy chosen for this namespace. |
||
| 82 | 6 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 83 | 5 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 84 | ## TLV-TYPE assignments |
||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | Type | Assigned value | Assigned value (hex) |
