[Ndn-interest] Data comes from another face?

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Sabet

Ethernet repeater and UDP multicast group are two examples of multi-access
links.

Infrastructure WiFi is different: at MAC layer, all communications go
through the AP (access point).
We could take advantage of this property, and install an NDN stack on the
AP that aggregates Interests and caches Data. Under this design, a wireless
client treats the WiFi link as a point-to-point link to the AP, and the AP
treats the WiFi link as both a multi-access link where packets can be
broadcast to all wireless clients, and one point-to-point link to each
wireless link.

Yours, Junxiao
