Re: [icnrg] Beach reading!

Thanks for putting this together — nice reading indeed!

No major objections — just a few thoughts:

1) The drafts mentions that in ICN, we may be able to leverage a richer 
set of forwarding behaviour that could be applied to equivalence 
classes. You didn’t use the term “forwarding strategy”, but it 
seems that ICN-QoS could effectively enable indirect control of 
link/storage/compute resources as well as of forwarding strategy 
decisions (for example, apply in-network INTEREST retransmissions, 
multicasting etc. for some classes). (Just wondered, whether you tried 
to avoid term deliberately.)

2) On the control of cache resources, I agree that you don’t want to 
put consumer in *direct* control of cache resources. However, there 
could be circumstances where caching behaviour would be quite relevant 
to QoS-related forwarding. I am thinking of consumer mobility or 
critical IoT communication, where in-network repair would be useful. In 
such cases, the producers would not necessarily know what’s best with 
respect to caching, so there could be some value in a *indirect* 
consumer control/indication scheme for caching?

Thanks,
Dirk
