[Nfd-dev] LINK support & understanding expected use in apps

[Thompson, Jeff]

Hi Alex,

These links make it clear how to put a delegation in a Link object and to
put the Link object in an Interest. Do you have plans for the NFD
developer's guide to explain the slightly larger picture: When does an
application need to put a link delegation in an interest? Does it have to
do it for every interest which might be redirected? How does it learn what
delegation to user? What does NFD do when it gets the interest?

Thanks,
- Jeff T
