Description
TcpFactory
and UdpFactory
each has a "prohibited endpoint set" introduced in #1414-4 which prevents creating a face that connects to NFD itself. This was necessary at the time where forwarding strategies were dumb and there was no Nack-Duplicate.
Nowadays, this feature is no longer necessary. Although it still does not make sense to connect to NFD itself, the consequence is less severe: Interest forwarding would trigger Nack-Duplicate, and strategy is expected to handle this situation.
Therefore, "prohibited endpoint set" feature can be removed to reduce complexity of TcpFactory
and UdpFactory
, especially with the forthcoming dynamic face creation from fine-grained signals.
