Re: [ns] Why the message is not delivered (ARP requests lost?)
The message are lost in low frequency. I noticed that in some case the
interest messages are also lost. It is only because the interest message is
forwarded by all nodes, so all source nodes can receive it in high
probability. But in one of my experiment, one source is far away from the
sink and has only one neighbor. Unfortunately, the interest message
forwarded by its only neighbor is lost, so the source node does not start to
send packets at all. I am not sure why these messages are dropped. Is it
because of the MAC layer? Can 802.11 guarantee that all messages sent out
are finally delivered with only some delay, if the queue is long enough? If
not, does this mean I have to send an ack for those control messages,
because they are very important.
thanks for your help
