Hi Dave,

I've just read your draft and ICN conference paper. Sorry for late.
I understand that the pathsteering would be useful for TE as consumers or routers can specify the path label for some data transmission after they can "find the path label" that provides the better quality of the data transmission. However, I cannot understand how the pathsteering "discovers all potential paths" upstream routers have.

I understand that a path label is encoded during data transmission. The encoded path label only indicates the actual path label used for data transmission, not all potential paths set up in all upstream routers' FIBs. This means that downstream routers do not discover all potential paths all upstream routers have. If I'm wrong, could you clarify the way to discover all potential paths some of which are not used for the actual data transmission?

Next question is that is it possible for a router to "simultaneously" send multiple interests via multiple faces? If yes, is it happened only when the router defines that strategy? In other words, if the router's strategy does not indicate to "simultaneously" send multiple interests via multiple faces, is there a way to discover all potential paths for the specific data transmission?
IMO, for the purpose of path "discovery", we may need to have the way to find the all potential paths used for the specific data transmission.

I don't say the pathsteering is not useful. It'd be useful for TE. My point is that I'd like to know if it is used for CCNinfo to discover or identify all potential paths to retrieve the specific data.

This is my quick feeling.

Regards,

Hitoshi

We “ICNRG-ified” the work we did on Path Steering in 2017 for the ICN conference since it is likely pretty useful for a number of things, including multi-path congestion control and diagnosis protocols like ping, traceroute, and CCNInfo.
