Repo Command
=============================
For insertion, deletion and other operations of repo, these commands are encoded in the form of [[ndn-cxx:SignedInterest|Signed Interests]]:
/<repo-prefix>/<command-verb>/................./.........................................
\______ _______/ \__________________ ___________________/
\/ \/
RepoCommandParameter Signed Interest additional components
The semantics of repo command interest is as follows:
The name semantics is defined to have following components:
* ``<repo prefix>`` refers to specific prefix repo is listening
* ``<command verb>`` refers to the name of command
* ``<RepoCommandParameter>`` refers to parameters of repo command
The following components are components of singed interest for access control:
* ``<timestamp>``
* ``<random-value>``
* ``<SignatureInfo>``
* ``<SignatureValue>``
For prefix of repo /ucla/cs/repo/, the command will be defined as this:
/ucla/cs/repo/<command verb>/<RepoCommandParameter>/<timestamp>/<random-value>/<SignatureInfo>/<SignatureValue>
### RepoCommandParameter
RepoCommandParameter ::= REPOCOMMANDPARAMETER-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
Name?
StartBlockId?
EndBlockId?
ProcessId?
MaxInterestNum?
WatchTimeout?
WatchStatus?
InterestLifetime?
Name ::= NAME-TYPE TLV-LENGTH NameComponent*
NameComponent ::= NAME-COMPONENT-TYPE TLV-LENGTH BYTE+
StartBlockId ::= STARTBLOCKID-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
EndBlockId ::= ENDBLOCKID-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
ProcessId ::= PROCESSID-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
MaxInterestNum ::= MAX-INTEREST-NUM-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
WatchTimeout ::= WATCH-TIMEOUT-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
WatchStatus ::= WATCH-STATUS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
InterestLifetime ::= INTEREST-LIFETIME-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
#### StartBlockId, EndBlockId
StartBlockId and EndBlockId are used to process segmented data. StartBlockId indicate the first segment number and EndBlockId indicate the last segment number. Repo will process segment data whose segment id between StartBlockId and EndBlockId. If StartBlockId is missing, the first segment id the repo process is 0; If EndBlockId is missing, this scenario is described in specific process in Repo Insertion Command section and Repo Deletion Command section.
#### ProcessId
ProcessId is used by insertion and deletion check command to indicate specific insertion and deletion process. The ProcessId is fetched by repo command response of insertion and deletion command.
#### InterestLifetime
InterestLifetime is the maximum latency between interest sent and data received. If no data received after the InterestLifetime, the interest will time out. InterestLifetime is optional and a default value will be set if it is not specified.
#### MaxInterestNum
MaxInterestNum is used by watched prefix insertion protocol to set the upper limit of the total number of interests to be sent.
#### WatchTimeout
WatchTimeout is used by watched prefix insertion protocol to set the time duration of the whole watching process.
#### WatchStatus
WatchStatus is used by watched prefix insertion protocol to indicate the status of watching process. If the WatchStatus is true, then the watching prefix is running, otherwise, it is not.
## Repo Command Response
Repo command response is the response data packet of repo command interest. The response contains statuscode to indicate the status of command process and other information. A TLV-encoded block called ``RepoCommandResponse`` is encoded in content of the data packet.
RepoCommandResponse ::= INSERTSTATUS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
ProcessId?
StatusCode
StartBlockId?
EndBlockId?
InsertNum?
DeleteNum?
ProcessId ::= PROCESSID-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
StatusCode ::= STATUSCODE-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
StartBlockId ::= STARTBLOCKID-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
EndBlockId ::= ENDBLOCKID-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
InsertNum ::= INSERTNUM-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
DeleteNum ::= DELETENUM-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
nonNegativeInteger
### Name
Name indicates the Name in repocommandparameter of repo command
### ProcessId
ProcessId is a random number generated by repo to indicate the number of the command process. Client could use this ProcessId to check the status of specific command.
### StatusCode
StatusCode indicates the status of repo command process. The statuscodes of insert and deletion command are described in following insertion and deletion specification.
### StartBlockId, EndBlockId
StartBlockId and EndBlockId are the same as those of RepoCommandParameter. If either of those in RepoCommandParameter is missing, repo will set them as the Id known for now. For example, if StartBlockId is missing in RepoCommandParameter, StartBlockId in response will be set 0. If EndBlockId is missing in RepoCommandParameter, EndBlockId will be set null untill Repo get FinalBlockId in data packet. If FinalBlockId in returned data packet is less than EndBlockId, the EndBlockId will be set FinalBlockId.
### InsertNum, DeleteNum
InsertNum is used in reponse of insertion status check to indicate how many data packets have been successfully inserted into the repo. DeleteNum is used in response of deletion command and deletion check command. DeleteNum indicates how many data packets have been successfully deleted from repo.

## Repo Trust Model
The trust model of repo depends on people who deploy the repo service, such as PKI. Repo can specify their own verification policies, and data consumers can specify their own trust anchors. The NDN [FAQ](http://named-data.net/project/faq/#How_does_NDN8217s_8220trust_management8221_work) shows how NDN trust managment works.
