100%
Description
In faces/create and faces/update commands, accept Flags+Mask fields, and process LocalFieldsEnabled attribute.
This issue includes necessary updates to ControlParameters struct and ndn::nfd::FaceUpdateCommand class.
faces/enable-local-control and faces/disable-local-control command should be kept for backwards compatibility.
This issue does not change any client side application still using the old command.

NFD portion of this issue can start now.
faces/update command should be introduced in this issue, but it only supports Flags+Mask of LocalFieldsEnabled bit; if FacePersistency is specified in a faces/update command, the update is invalid and 409 should be returned with FacePersistency field in the <body>.

I just noticed a mistake I made in the ndn-cxx portion of this task that made it through code review.
The current implementation of FaceUpdateCommand::applyDefaultsToRequest causes a FaceId of 0 be set in all faces/update requests, even if FaceId is already set. The proper behavior is to set FaceId to 0 only if the parameter is not set.
I will be push a fix to Gerrit momentarily.

I'm trying to use IncomingFaceId for FaceMgmt self-updating. The NDNLPv2 spec states that IncomingFaceId should be attached by NFD to every packet going to a local application (how about Management?). However, it does not appear to me that this is the current behavior. Am I interpreting the LP spec (from the Redmine wiki) correctly or do I need to rely on another feature for self-updating?
IncomingFaceId tag is available only if management’s face has LocalFieldsEnabled=yes.
Since management cannot send a faces/update command to itself, it should directly update the relevant property on GenericLinkService of its own face.
Then, see an example in FibManager on how to access the tag.

I believe that I've completed the code and test cases for NFD. I'm waiting for the ndn-cxx fix at Gerrit 3901 to be committed before pushing my changes to NFD.

I've pushed what I have for NFD to Gerrit. I haven't completely finished verifying and reviewing the functionality, so I've marked it as a work-in-progress.
Updated by Eric Newberry over 7 years ago
In light of the discussion on Gerrit between Alex, Davide, and I, I would like to propose some changes to the design of faces/create:
The create command (FaceManager::createFace) will verify the parameters that apply to all factories, like the inability to create multicast faces. After this, it will parse the URI and determine the applicable factory (if any). Then, it will call a function in the factory (Factory::canCreateFromFaceManager) that will return whether the face can be created from the face manager. If not, the command will fail with 406 ("Unsupported protocol"). Otherwise, createFace will call Factory::createFaceFromManager. This function will serve as a wrapper around Factory::createFace and will perform factory-specific checks, like those for FacePersistency, and will return a status code and message through the manager.
Updated by Junxiao Shi over 7 years ago
The original design intention is: FaceManager is only responsible for finding the correct ProtocolFactory subclass; ALL checks, including multicast address and persistency, should be performed within ProtocolFactory (and it can be further delegated to Channel etc).

Updated by Eric Newberry over 7 years ago
@Junxiao I think this task is complete. Is there anything else that still needs to be done?

We forgot to update the NFD dev guide, which still contains many references to LocalControlHeader & co.
Updated by Junxiao Shi over 7 years ago
NFD devguide shall be updated after #3232 is complete, so that description about faces/update command can cover both features.
