[Nfd-dev] [Ndn-interest] NDN link protocol

[Lan Wang (lanwang)]

Self learning can work to a certain degree.  But if you have a large network, it may be better to run a routing protocol.  We have NLSR hello protocol defined for multicast media.  Just need to implement it.  I was just asking how to specify  the Ethernet face in the configuration file.  I suppose just the multicast address.

Hi Lan

There's no "Ethernet tunnel". All Ethernet communication by NFD is multicast.

Routing protocols have deployment difficulty and runtime overhead. It's generally undesirable to run a routing protocol on Ethernet.
Local area network should use self-learning forwarding<http://www.caida.org/workshops/ndn/1409/slides/ndncomm2014_jshi.pptx>.

Yours, Junxiao

Junxiao,

What do we need to change in NLSR to support ethernet tunnel?
