Hmm, somebody pointed out that ccnx binary protocol is used for communication between ccn-lite-relay and the ccn-lite-ctrl util. I skimmed through ccnl_mgmt
and ccnl_mgmt_handle
which seems to confirm that. Nevertheless, I find it still kind of confusing. Is there some documentation about the internals?
Yes, your second statement is correct. CCN-lite uses CCNb for communication with the ccn-lite-ctrl util.
I think somebody started porting this to NDNTLV but when I look in the code, this seems to be unfinished and broken. This is definitely an issue, the broken code should be removed.
I think there is no documentation, how the MGMT interface works internal, but I think I can answer all questions about that.
Is there any advantage of not using CCNb for MGMT?
I mean, the packet format is outdated, but for MGMT operations, which are not forwarded into the network, I see little advantage of rewriting the code.

Hi,
as far as I understood CCN-lite supports CCNx management operations (enabled via
USE_MGMT
flag). Currently, I'm trying to understand how forwarding in CCN-lite works and found in theccnl_fwd_handleInterest
function the followingBasically, this allows to have CCNx management operations handled in NDN? Unfortunately, the CCNx specification is not available anymore, but I can imagine that both (CCNx and NDN management) support face creation, deletion, etc.
Is this intended behaviour or plain and simply wrong?
TIA Michael
