One last followup question

For the android apk (i found 6 of them, will figure out which one I 
need) forward ndn packets only via tcp ? Or can I connect directly to an 
NDN wireless network that I have in my lab ?

We have initial version of NFD ported on android (as of right now, you would need to compile from source https://github.com/named-data/NFD-android, but we plan to publish compiled version too) and there are a few apps that use NDN protocol and NFD-android to communicate.
