[Nfd-dev] Autoconfig for local WiFi network

Hi Peter,

Yes autoconfig will help you do that, you can start the
ndn-autoconfig-server application on the server (using the faceURI as
argument
http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/manpages/ndn-autoconfig-server.html)
and then run ndn-autoconfig on the consumers.

This procedure will cause the consumers to search for the hub in your
network by 1st Multicast, 2nd DNS query, if any of them had success than
two prefixes are automatically created /ndn and /localhop/nfd (
http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/manpages/ndn-autoconfig.html#ndn-autoconfig
).

We also worked for this functionality on Android at the 2nd Hackathon. The
code will be available very soon and folks can test and run also on
NFD-Android.

Hope this can help,
