Task #1168

Updated by Junxiao Shi almost 11 years ago

An application can request forwarder to use ``LocalControlHeader`` to notify the application about various information, such as FaceId on which incoming Interest or Data packet is received. Forwarder MUST NOT send a local control header until after application requests for it. 

 The application can use ``LocalControlHeader`` (if it has permission) to indicate to which FaceIds an expressed Interest should be forwarder, bypassing strategy decision. 

 Specification should be define on redmine wiki: [[LocalControlHeader|NFD local control header]] [[Local Control Header specification]]
