[Nfd-dev] Possibility to create unicast face inside forwarding strategy

[Mahyuddin Husairi]

Hi Teng. Thanks for the advice. I'll try to use face manager to create face
inside my forwarding strategy.
Can you share your current design of  #4283
<https://redmine.named-data.net/issues/4283>? Honestly i understand the
concept but i have no idea how to implement it.
