Feature #4189
Updated by Junxiao Shi over 6 years ago
`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`, `UdpFactory, especially with the forthcoming dynamic face creation from fine-grained signals.
