Feature #2189
closed
Pick Transport type with client.conf
Added by Junxiao Shi over 9 years ago.
Updated over 9 years ago.
Description
Add a transport option to client.conf.
Its value is a FaceUri that represents a listener. This FaceUri does not have to be canonical.
To pick UnixTransport: transport=unix:///var/run/nfd.sock
Path can be changed if necessary.
To pick TcpTransport: transport=tcp://localhost:6363
Port can be changed if necessary.
"tcp://localhost" is recommended; other variants such as "tcp4://127.0.0.1" or "tcp6://[::1]" is acceptable but not recommended.
Connecting to a non-local endpoint is unsupported but not forbidden.
The default constructor of Face class should respect this configuration, instead of always creating UnixTransport.

I want to point out that this Feature lacks design approval. If you go implement it, there's risk of having to rework everything in case design is rejected.
What do you thinking of changing to use Face URIs to specify the protocol, host, and port? Handling Unix transport without a Face URI is trivial, but I'd hate to replicate existing functionality to determine whether a TCP/UDP host option was IPv4, v6, or a hostname.
To pick UnixTransport:
transport=unix:///var/run/nfd.sock
To pick IPv4 TcpTransport:
transport=tcp4://localhost:6363
- Description updated (diff)
I agree with the design in note-7.
ok. I agree with the design.

Where can I find the ndn-cxx documentation that needs to be updated? Is it a separate repo or something under docs?

Added text to internals describing client.conf and comments are appreciated. I will close the issue in a few days if there are no suggestions.
- Status changed from Code review to Closed
I have reviewed ndn-cxx-docs commit f6d632cc8b923a3e6c497d463c6a93a7b45607b8.
