|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 3 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | **Face Management** is a module of [[Management|NFD Management protocol]]. |
| 4 | It provides: |
||
| 5 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 6 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | * commands to create and destroy faces |
| 7 | * commands to enable and disable [[LocalControlHeader]] features on a face |
||
| 8 | * a dataset of description of all active faces and their counters |
||
| 9 | 33 | Junxiao Shi | * a dataset of description of all active channels |
| 10 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | * a notification stream for face creating and destroying events |
| 11 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 12 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | Face Management commands, datasets, and notifications are published in namespace `ndn:/localhost/nfd/faces`. |

| 15 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | ## FaceUri |
| 16 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 17 | 27 | Junxiao Shi | A FaceUri represents the underlying protocol and address used by a Face. |
| 18 | Every Face has two FaceUris: one for local endpoint, and the other for remote endpoint. |

| 92 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | ## Control Commands |
| 93 | |||
| 94 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | [[ControlCommand]] **management-module**: `faces` |
| 95 | |||
| 96 | ### Create a face |
||
| 97 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 98 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | **command-verb**: `create` |
| 99 | |||
| 100 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | ControlParameters fields: |
| 101 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 102 | 30 | Junxiao Shi | * Uri (required): a UDP unicast or TCP FaceUri |
| 103 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 104 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | This command allows creation of UDP unicast and TCP faces only. |

| 106 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 107 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | If the command succeeds, \<Body> in ControlResponse block contains updated ControlParameters: |
| 108 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 109 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | * FaceId |
| 110 | * Uri: FaceUri in canonical form - hostname is substituted with IP address, scheme name indicates either IPv4 or IPv6 |

||
| 208 | 21 | Alex Afanasyev | Notifications of all faces are sent into the same notification stream. |
| 209 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 210 | 21 | Alex Afanasyev | The Content of each notification Data packet is a `FaceEventNotification` block: |
