Description

What is the expected exception safety of Face::onReceiveElement. As of right now, it will throw tlv::Error derived exception any time somebody presents a valid TLV block that looks like Interest, Data (after #2930 like NDNLP) packet, but something is wrong with the packet.

The consequence of this exception (it is not handled, as far as I checked) is that the application will probably crash or stop functioning, as processing loop will be terminated.

Should we change that or it is an intended behavior?
