[Nfd-dev] NFD-Android multicast

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Percy

By specifying an IP address on the consumer’s Face constructor, you are causing the consumer to connect directly to the NFD on producer node over TCP.

In order to achieve multicast,
1. Run NFD on all three nodes.
2. Use the default Face constructor in consumer, so that it connects to local NFD. Typically, this would be a local TCP socket on Android.
3. Perform prefix registration on the NFD on consumer node:
4. 


Yours, Junxiao

Hi  NFD-Dev team.
I am running NFD-Android in three smartphones (Android v.4.x), one as consumer and the other two as  producers.  At the moment I am hard coding the IP address of the two producers in the consumer side as following: 

       Face consumerFace = new Face("producerIpAddress");
 
Could I ask  how my consumer could  multicast an interest to the other two or more producers? 
I would appreciate your comments.

Regards
Percy
