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.

</div>
<div>There's no "Ethernet tunnel". All Ethernet communication by NFD is multicast.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Routing protocols have deployment difficulty and runtime overhead. It's generally undesirable to run a routing protocol on Ethernet.</div>
<div>Local area network should use <a href="http://www.caida.org/workshops/ndn/1409/slides/ndncomm2014_jshi.pptx">
self-learning forwarding</a>.</div>
