| 5 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | **Face Management** is a module of [[Management|NFD Management protocol]]. |
| 6 | It provides: |
||
| 7 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 8 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | * commands to create and destroy faces |
| 9 | * commands to enable and disable [[LocalControlHeader]] features on a face |
||
| 10 | * a dataset of description of all active faces and their counters |
||
| 11 | 33 | Junxiao Shi | * a dataset of description of all active channels |
| 12 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | * a notification stream for face creating and destroying events |
| 13 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 14 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | Face Management commands, datasets, and notifications are published in namespace `ndn:/localhost/nfd/faces`. |

| 17 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | ## FaceUri |
| 18 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 19 | 27 | Junxiao Shi | A FaceUri represents the underlying protocol and address used by a Face. |
| 20 | Every Face has two FaceUris: one for local endpoint, and the other for remote endpoint. |

| 94 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | ## Control Commands |
| 95 | |||
| 96 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | [[ControlCommand]] **management-module**: `faces` |
| 97 | |||
| 98 | ### Create a face |
||
| 99 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 100 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | **command-verb**: `create` |
| 101 | |||
| 102 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | ControlParameters fields: |
| 103 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 104 | 30 | Junxiao Shi | * Uri (required): a UDP unicast or TCP FaceUri |
| 105 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 106 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | This command allows creation of UDP unicast and TCP faces only. |
| 107 | 30 | Junxiao Shi | If another face with same underlying protocol and remote address exists, the command is considered successful, and FaceId of that face is returned. |
| 108 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 109 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | If the command succeeds, \<Body> in ControlResponse block contains updated ControlParameters: |
| 110 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 111 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | * FaceId |
| 112 | * Uri: FaceUri in canonical form - hostname is substituted with IP address, scheme name indicates either IPv4 or IPv6 |

||
| 131 | 26 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 132 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | This command can only operate on the requesting face. |
| 133 | |||
| 134 | ### Disable a LocalControlHeader feature |
||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | **command-verb**: `disable-local-control` |
| 137 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |

||
| 141 | 26 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 142 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | This command can only operate on the requesting face. |
| 143 | |||
| 144 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | ## Face Dataset |
| 145 | |||
| 146 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | Description and counters of all active faces are published as a [[StatusDataset|Status Dataset]] at `ndn:/localhost/nfd/faces/list`. |
| 147 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 148 | 32 | Junxiao Shi | Each face is represented by a **FaceStatus** block: |
| 149 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 150 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | FaceStatus ::= FACE-STATUS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 151 | FaceId |
||
| 152 | Uri (remote FaceUri) |
||
| 153 | LocalUri |
||
| 154 | ExpirationPeriod? |
||
| 155 | FaceFlags |
||
| 156 | NInInterests |
||
| 157 | NInDatas |
||
| 158 | NOutInterests |
||
| 159 | NOutDatas |
||
| 160 | NInBytes |
||
| 161 | NOutBytes |
||
| 162 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 163 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | LocalUri ::= LOCAL-URI-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 164 | RFC3986 URI in UTF-8 encoding |
||
| 165 | 32 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 166 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | FaceFlags ::= FACE-FLAGS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 167 | nonNegativeInteger |
||
| 168 | 30 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 169 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | NInInterests ::= N-IN-INTERESTS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 170 | nonNegativeInteger |
||
| 171 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 172 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | NInDatas ::= N-IN-DATAS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 173 | nonNegativeInteger |
||
| 174 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 175 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | NOutInterests ::= N-OUT-INTERESTS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |

| 187 | * **Uri** is a FaceUri representing remote endpoint. |
||
| 188 | * **LocalUri** is a FaceUri representing local endpoint. |
||
| 189 | * **ExpirationPeriod** is the remaining lifetime of this face. |
||
| 190 | If this field is omitted, the face has infinite lifetime. |
||
| 191 | Currently, this is applicable to on-demand datagram faces only. |
||
| 192 | * **FaceFlags** is a bitset providing additional information about the face. |
||
| 193 | The following bits are currently defined: |
||
| 194 | * **1**: face is local |
||
| 195 | * **2**: face is on demand - accepted incoming connection, instead of initiated outgoing connection |
||
| 196 | * **NInInterests** is the total number of incoming Interests since the face is established. |
||
| 197 | * **NInDatas** is the total number of incoming Datas since the face is established. |
||
| 198 | * **NOutInterests** is the total number of outgoing Interests since the face is established. |
||
| 199 | * **NOutDatas** is the total number of outgoing Datas since the face is established. |
||
| 200 | * **NInBytes** counts the number of bytes of link layer packets received via this face. |
||
| 201 | This counter is initialized to zero when the face is established, and can wrap around after overflowing unsigned 64-bit integer range. |
||
| 202 | * **NOutBytes** counts the number of bytes of link layer packets sent via this face. |
||
| 203 | This counter is initialized to zero when the face is established, and can wrap around after overflowing unsigned 64-bit integer range. |
||
| 204 | |||
| 205 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | ### Query Operation |
| 206 | |||
| 207 | The query operation allows one to retrieve a subset of face dataset that contains faces satisfying a filter. |
||
| 208 | |||
| 209 | To run a query, the consumer should express an Interest with Name: `ndn:/localhost/nfd/faces/query/<filter>`, where `<filter>` is a **FaceQueryFilter** block that specifies zero or more conditions. |
||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | FaceQueryFilter ::= FACE-QUERY-FILTER-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
||
| 212 | FaceId? |
||
| 213 | UriScheme? |
||
| 214 | Uri? |
||
| 215 | LocalUri? |
||
| 216 | IsMultiAccess? |
||
| 217 | |||
| 218 | UriScheme ::= URI-SCHEME-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
||
| 219 | string in UTF-8 |
||
| 220 | |||
| 221 | IsMultiAccess ::= IS-MULTI-ACCESS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
||
| 222 | (0x00 | 0x01) |
||
| 223 | |||
| 224 | * **FaceId** permits a face if its FaceId equals the value |
||
| 225 | * **UriScheme** permits a face if the scheme part of its local FaceUri or remote FaceUri equals the value |
||
| 226 | * **Uri** permits a face if its remote FaceUri equals the value |
||
| 227 | * **LocalUri** permits a face if its local FaceUri equals the value |
||
| 228 | * **IsMultiAccess** permits a face if its *isMultiAccess* attribute equals the value |
||
| 229 | |||
| 230 | A face must satisfy ALL conditions to satisfy the filter. |
||
| 231 | Faces that satisfy the filter are represents by **FaceStatus** blocks, and published as a [[StatusDataset]] under the Interest Name (a Data packet's Name would be `ndn:/localhost/nfd/faces/query/<filter>/<version>/<segment>`). |
||
| 232 | |||
| 233 | Examples of filters: |
||
| 234 | |||
| 235 | * a specific face: FaceId=260 |
||
| 236 | * a specific TCP tunnel: Uri=tcp4://192.0.2.1:6363 |
||
| 237 | note: FaceUri must precisely match what would appear in face dataset: use either "tcp4" or "tcp6" instead of "tcp", use IP address instead of DNS name, include port number |
||
| 238 | * all TCP tunnels: UriScheme=tcp |
||
| 239 | note: "tcp" permits both "tcp4" and "tcp6", "udp" permits both "udp4" and "udp6" |
||
| 240 | * all UDP multicast faces: UriScheme=udp & IsMultiAccess=1 |
||
| 241 | * all Ethernet faces: UriScheme=ether |
||
| 242 | note: UriScheme matches on both local and remote FaceUri, "dev" also works |
||
| 243 | * all faces: no condition |
||
| 244 | note: this is equivalent to face dataset, and face dataset should be preferred for this purpose |
||
| 245 | |||
| 246 | 33 | Junxiao Shi | ## Channel Dataset |
| 247 | |||
| 248 | Description of all active channels is published as a [[StatusDataset|Status Dataset]] at `ndn:/localhost/nfd/faces/channels`. |
||
| 249 | |||
| 250 | Each channel is represented by a **ChannelStatus** block: |
||
| 251 | |||
| 252 | ChannelStatus := CHANNEL-STATUS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
||
| 253 | LocalUri |
||
| 254 | |||
| 255 | * **LocalUri** is a FaceUri representing local endpoint. |
||
| 256 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 257 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | ## Face Status Change Notification |
| 258 | |||
| 259 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | Face status change events are published as a [[Notification|Notification Stream]] at `ndn:/localhost/nfd/faces/events`. |
| 260 | Notifications of all faces are sent into the same notification stream. |
||
| 261 | 21 | Alex Afanasyev | |
| 262 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | The Content of each notification Data packet is a `FaceEventNotification` block: |
| 263 | 21 | Alex Afanasyev | |
| 264 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | FaceEventNotification ::= FACE-EVENT-NOTIFICATION-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 265 | FaceEventKind |
||
| 266 | FaceId |
||
| 267 | Uri |
||
| 268 | LocalUri |
||
| 269 | FaceFlags |
||
| 270 | 23 | Alex Afanasyev | |
| 271 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | FaceEventKind ::= FACE-EVENT-KIND-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 272 | nonNegativeInteger |
||
| 273 | 25 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 274 | **FaceEventKind** indicates the kind of event. Its possible values are: |
||
| 275 | 23 | Alex Afanasyev | |
| 276 | 25 | Junxiao Shi | * **1**: face is created |
| 277 | 23 | Alex Afanasyev | * **2**: face is destroyed |
