Feature #2458

Updated by Alex Afanasyev almost 10 years ago

As part of #1584 we implemented NFD to process HUP signal to re-initialize faces. However, one needs to be least the same user to send such a signal. 

 We need an extension of [[FaceMgmt|Face Management protocol]] FaceManagement protocol for this purpose: 

 - new verb:    reload-mcast 

 - control parameter: empty control parameters (just to conform to the protocol) 

 - desired effect: re-creating multicast faces 

 The only complication is that we need to remember ConfigSection for multicast faces.    If it is not enabled, then no action should be performed.
