Hi dev team,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Once we tested NDN over Ethernet on our local “testbed” - three laptops with NFD connected to the same network - after creating ethernet faces,
<i>ndncon </i>instances running on each machine “magically” discovered each other and were able to communicate via chat/audio/video.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, I’m curious about feasibility of getting similar effect on the local WiFi networks (and whether autoconfig can help with that or such discovery should become a part of autoconfig):</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Say, I have three laptops with NFD connected to the same WiFi network with no Internet access. If I run autoconfig on all three laptops - will they “magically” discover each other and create routes? If so, which routes will be created?</div>
<div>If no, what precludes from implementing such “local autodiscovery"?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
