[Nfd-dev] Push function in NDN

[Lee, Jongdeog]

Dear NDN folks,
  Hope all is well.
  I have a question about a push function (from one publisher to multiple subscribers) in NDN.

1. It seems the simplest way to implement such function is to send one interest packet to multiple producers. However, NFD only forwards one interest to one producer by default.
  Is there any way to multicast one interest?
  For example, if three producers advertise same prefix '/notification' and one consumer issues interest '/notificiation/1', I would like to send the interest to all three producers.

2. Junxiao mentioned there is notification stream in NFD that keeps update NFD status info. Is it usable in application layer as well? (like consumer-producer model). If then, is there any example code for that?

  Thanks for reading!

Best wishes,
Jongdeog Lee (JD)
