`ether://` face creation not working #51

Open malldisaesar opened 1 year ago

malldisaesar commented 1 year ago

nfdc face create ether://[98:28:A6:3B:86:02] local dev://ens3

nfdc returns Error 406 when creating face: Unsupported scheme ether
YaNFD log contains WARN[3207] [FaceMgmt] Unable to create ether face with URI ether://[98:28:A6:3B:86:02]: Unsupported scheme ether://[]

The current version of YaNFD only supports creating TCP and UDP faces after startup. You may use the yanfd.toml file to let YaNFD create the Ethernet face when starting up. I don't think I can add this feature because I lack devices to test. People who are able to do so are welcome to submit Pull Requests.

Can you tell me how to make face ether from yanfd.toml ?

zjkmxy commented 1 year ago

YaNFD supports multicast Ethernet face. Set faces.ethernet.enabled to be true, put the multicast address, and YaNFD will create a face on every interface using that address. There is no need to specify a host's MAC address or Ethernet interface.

It will make looping packet when more than 2 node or not? Because on nfd forwarder it make looping when i'm add route to multicast id

I don't think it will. There is Interest aggregation preventing it.
