[Nfd-dev] Ethernet unicast faces

[Lixia Zhang]

unicast Ethernet was one of the hackathon projects over the weekend.
my understanding is that the code should be available real soon.

For our ICN-IoT with WiFi Ad-hoc project this is a bit of a problem, since we want to retransmit on the same WiFi interface (which again is disabled in the dissemination strategy for Ethernet Multicast faces), and want to use the source and destination MAC address to respectively indicate who should be the next hop to retransmit the Data object and Interest.
