[Nfd-dev] NFD configuration problem on ethernet

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Jingqing

NFD does not support Ethernet unicast. The rationale of this design choice is described in NFD developer guide, “Ethernet transport” section.
You may use Ethernet multicast by first finding the FaceId of an auto-created Ethernet multicast face via `nfd-status -f`, and use that FaceId in nfdc register command.

Yours, Junxiao
