Description

NFD EthernetFace multicasts all packets.

In a large scale L2 network with non-NDN-aware switches, multicasting would wake up all nodes, which is not energy efficient.

Therefore, we should design a L3-L2 binding machinery.

Dave Oran provided some ideas:

  • use different multicast addresses for Interests and Data
  • partition the multicast space using prefix hashes
  • decide whether to unicast or multicast a Data packet, based on how many downstreams have requested it
  • use routing to suppress redundant forwarding of interests received by multiple forwarders on the same LAN
