@ndn/nfdmgmt

This package is part of NDNts, Named Data Networking libraries for the modern web.

This package enables interaction with NDN-DPDK high-speed forwarder. It can create faces for the NDNts application, and perform prefix registrations.

NDN-DPDK forwarder should be configured as follows:

• Management listener on TCP.
• Socket faces enabled.

Currently, there are several limitations using this package:

• Data plane uses UDP transport, which does not deliver the best performance.
• Prefix registration replaces a FIB entry, and does not preserve other prefix registrations on the same prefix.
• If the application crashes, the face would not be closed on NDN-DPDK side.
