<div>Hi folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Could you please confirm the default behavior of "on-demand" face creation for applications?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My understanding: The face created by default when an application registers a prefix is "on demand", meaning it can be destroyed by NFD if inactive for some timeout period.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This behavior has caused some troubleshooting challenges with a long-running publisher and occasionally interested consumers. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some questions:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- Where is this behavior documented? It is mentioned in p10 of the developer's guide, but I can't find either the constant or configuration parameter that sets it. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- Is it the case that on-demand faces will not be destroyed if any traffic has traversed them? Or just that no traffic has traversed during the timeout interval? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- What is the appropriate way to create a face that persists until the process that created it is either destroyed or unregistered the prefix? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Jeff</div>
