[icnrg] Questions about an empty name segment

[Atsushi Ooka <[e-mail]>]

Dear all.

I have some questions about an empty name segment
such as "ccnx:/NAME=" and "ccnx:/foo/bar/NAME=".

Why is an empty name segment needed, and how can it be used?

I have read Internet-Drafts (IDs) [1,2,3] and
confirmed the behavior of Metis [4] and iping [5];
however, it is not clear for me how to use them.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Atsushi Ooka
