Task #2533
Updated by Junxiao Shi almost 9 years ago
`ndn::Face` used to support prefix registration using [[nfd:FibMgmt]] protocol instead of the normal [[nfd:RibMgmt]] protocol.
This feature was introduced in v0.1 when NFD RIB daemon (nrd) is not yet implemented, so that applications can work without it.
This feature is no longer needed because [[nfd:RibMgmt]] protocol has become an integral part of NFD (as a thread of nfd process).
In this Task, **the following will be deleted**:
* 'protocol' option in `client.conf`
* `Face::setDirectFibManagement` function
`ndn::nfd::Controller` type can send commands of [[nfd:FibMgmt]] protocol.
This API is used by tools such as `nfdc`, and is unaffected by this Task.
Notice about this backwards-incompatible change shall be sent to nfd-dev and ndn-lib mailing lists 5 days prior to code merge.
**ndn-cxx Application Developer Guide** should be updated to reflect this change.
