| 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 | 45 | Junxiao Shi | Face Management commands, datasets, and notifications are available under 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 | 46 | Junxiao Shi | ## Static Face Attributes |
| 95 | |||
| 96 | **FaceScope** indicates whether the face is local for [[ScopeControl|scope control]] purposes. |
||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | * non-local(=0) |
||
| 99 | * local(=1) |
||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | **FacePersistency** indicates whether the face is persistent. |
||
| 102 | |||
| 103 | * on-demand(=1), face closes if it remains idle for some time |
||
| 104 | * persistent(=0), face remains open until it's explicitly destroyed or there's a transport failure |
||
| 105 | * permanent(=2), face remains open until it's explicitly destroyed; transport failures will be recovered internally |
||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | **LinkType** indicates the type of communication link. |
||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | * point-to-point(=0), communication with one peer |
||
| 110 | * multi-access(=1), communication with a multicast group |
||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | ## Control Commands |
| 113 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 114 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | [[ControlCommand]] **management-module**: `faces` |
| 115 | |||
| 116 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | ### Create a face |
| 117 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 118 | 41 | Junxiao Shi | **command-verb**: `create` |
| 119 | |||
| 120 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | ControlParameters fields: |
| 121 | |||
| 122 | 46 | Junxiao Shi | * Uri (required): a canonical UDP unicast or TCP FaceUri |
| 123 | * FacePersistency (optional): either *persistent* or *permanent*; creating on-demand faces is disallowed. |
||
| 124 | See "static face attributes" for more information. |
||
| 125 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 126 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | This command allows creation of UDP unicast and TCP faces only. |
| 127 | 46 | 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; |
| 128 | If the existing face has a different FacePersistency property, the transition on the direction of *on-demand* -> *persistent* -> *permanent* is allowed. |
||
| 129 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 130 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | If the command succeeds, \<Body> in ControlResponse block contains updated ControlParameters: |
| 131 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 132 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | * FaceId |
| 133 | 46 | Junxiao Shi | * FacePersistency |
| 134 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 135 | ### Destroy a face |
||
| 136 | |||
| 137 | **command-verb:** `destroy` |
||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | ControlParameters fields: |
| 140 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 141 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | * FaceId (required) |
| 142 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 143 | If the specified face does not exist, this command does nothing, but is still considered successful. |
||
| 144 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 145 | ### Enable a LocalControlHeader feature |
||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | **command-verb**: `enable-local-control` |
||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | ControlParameters fields: |
||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | 43 | Junxiao Shi | * LocalControlFeature (required): 1=IncomingFaceId, 2=NextHopFaceId, 3=CachingPolicy |
| 152 | 26 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 153 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | This command can only operate on the requesting face. |
| 154 | |||
| 155 | ### Disable a LocalControlHeader feature |
||
| 156 | |||
| 157 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | **command-verb**: `disable-local-control` |
| 158 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 159 | 26 | Junxiao Shi | ControlParameters fields: |
| 160 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 161 | 39 | Junxiao Shi | * LocalControlFeature (required): 1=IncomingFaceId, 2=NextHopFaceId, 3=CachingPolicy |
| 162 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 163 | 40 | Junxiao Shi | This command can only operate on the requesting face. |
| 164 | 39 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 165 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | ## Face Dataset |
| 166 | |||
| 167 | 40 | Junxiao Shi | Description and counters of all active faces are published as a [[StatusDataset|Status Dataset]] at `ndn:/localhost/nfd/faces/list`. |
| 168 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 169 | Each face is represented by a **FaceStatus** block: |
||
| 170 | 39 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 171 | FaceStatus ::= FACE-STATUS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
||
| 172 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | FaceId |
| 173 | 39 | Junxiao Shi | Uri (remote FaceUri) |
| 174 | LocalUri |
||
| 175 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | ExpirationPeriod? |
| 176 | 39 | Junxiao Shi | FaceScope |
| 177 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | FacePersistency |
| 178 | LinkType |
||
| 179 | NInInterests |
||
| 180 | NInDatas |
||
| 181 | 46 | Junxiao Shi | NInNacks |
| 182 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | NOutInterests |
| 183 | 39 | Junxiao Shi | NOutDatas |
| 184 | 46 | Junxiao Shi | NOutNacks |
| 185 | |||
| 186 | Uri ::= URI-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
||
| 187 | FaceUri in UTF-8 encoding |
||
| 188 | |||
| 189 | 39 | Junxiao Shi | LocalUri ::= LOCAL-URI-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 190 | 46 | Junxiao Shi | FaceUri in UTF-8 encoding |
| 191 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 192 | 46 | Junxiao Shi | ; other TLVs have nonNegativeInteger as value |
| 193 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 194 | * **Uri** is a FaceUri representing remote endpoint. |
||
| 195 | * **LocalUri** is a FaceUri representing local endpoint. |
||
| 196 | 40 | Junxiao Shi | * **ExpirationPeriod** is the remaining lifetime of this face. |
| 197 | 39 | Junxiao Shi | If this field is omitted, the face has infinite lifetime. |
| 198 | Currently, this is applicable to on-demand datagram faces only. |
||
| 199 | 40 | Junxiao Shi | * **FaceScope** indicates whether the face is local for [[ScopeControl|scope control]] purposes. |
| 200 | 46 | Junxiao Shi | See "static face attributes" for more information. |
| 201 | 40 | Junxiao Shi | * **FacePersistency** indicates whether the face is persistent. |
| 202 | 46 | Junxiao Shi | See "static face attributes" for more information. |
| 203 | 40 | Junxiao Shi | * **LinkType** indicates the type of communication link |
| 204 | 46 | Junxiao Shi | See "static face attributes" for more information. |
| 205 | * **NInInterests**: number of incoming Interest packets since the face is established. |
||
| 206 | * **NInDatas** counts the number of incoming Data packets since the face is established. |
||
| 207 | * **NInNacks** counts the number of incoming Nack packets since the face is established. |
||
| 208 | * **NOutInterests** counts the number of outgoing Interest packets since the face is established. |
||
| 209 | * **NOutDatas** counts the number of outgoing Data packets since the face is established. |
||
| 210 | * **NOutNacks** counts the number of outgoing Nack packets since the face is established. |
||
| 211 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | * **NInBytes** counts the number of bytes of link layer packets received via this face. |
| 212 | This counter is initialized to zero when the face is established, and can wrap around after overflowing unsigned 64-bit integer range. |
||
| 213 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | * **NOutBytes** counts the number of bytes of link layer packets sent via this face. |
| 214 | This counter is initialized to zero when the face is established, and can wrap around after overflowing unsigned 64-bit integer range. |
||
| 215 | |||
| 216 | ### Query Operation |
||
| 217 | |||
| 218 | The query operation allows one to retrieve a subset of face dataset that contains faces satisfying a filter. |
||
| 219 | |||
| 220 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | 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. |
| 221 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 222 | FaceQueryFilter ::= FACE-QUERY-FILTER-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
||
| 223 | FaceId? |
||
| 224 | UriScheme? |
||
| 225 | Uri? |
||
| 226 | 40 | Junxiao Shi | LocalUri? |
| 227 | FaceScope? |
||
| 228 | FacePersistency? |
||
| 229 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | LinkType? |
| 230 | |||
| 231 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | UriScheme ::= URI-SCHEME-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 232 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | string in UTF-8 |
| 233 | |||
| 234 | * **FaceId** permits a face if its FaceId equals the value |
||
| 235 | * **UriScheme** permits a face if the scheme part of its local FaceUri or remote FaceUri equals the value |
||
| 236 | * **Uri** permits a face if its remote FaceUri equals the value |
||
| 237 | 40 | Junxiao Shi | * **LocalUri** permits a face if its local FaceUri equals the value |
| 238 | * **FaceScope** permits a face if its *FaceScope* attribute equals the value |
||
| 239 | * **FacePersistency** permits a face if its *FacePersistency* attribute equals the value |
||
| 240 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | * **LinkType** permits a face if its *LinkType* attribute equals the value |
| 241 | |||
| 242 | 39 | Junxiao Shi | A face must satisfy ALL conditions to satisfy the filter. |
| 243 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | Faces that satisfy the filter are represented 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>`). |
| 244 | |||
| 245 | Examples of filters: |
||
| 246 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 247 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | * a specific face: FaceId=260 |
| 248 | 41 | Junxiao Shi | * a specific TCP tunnel: Uri=tcp4://192.0.2.1:6363 |
| 249 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | note: FaceUri must precisely match the canonical form: use either "tcp4" or "tcp6" instead of "tcp", use IP address instead of DNS name, include port number |
| 250 | 33 | Junxiao Shi | * all TCP tunnels: UriScheme=tcp |
| 251 | 40 | Junxiao Shi | note: "tcp" permits both "tcp4" and "tcp6", "udp" permits both "udp4" and "udp6" |
| 252 | 33 | Junxiao Shi | * all UDP multicast faces: UriScheme=udp & LinkType=multi-access |
| 253 | * all Ethernet faces: UriScheme=ether |
||
| 254 | note: UriScheme matches on both local and remote FaceUri, "dev" also works |
||
| 255 | * all faces: no condition |
||
| 256 | note: this is equivalent to face dataset, and face dataset should be preferred for this purpose |
||
| 257 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 258 | ## Channel Dataset |
||
| 259 | |||
| 260 | 33 | Junxiao Shi | Description of all active channels is published as a [[StatusDataset|Status Dataset]] at `ndn:/localhost/nfd/faces/channels`. |
| 261 | |||
| 262 | Each channel is represented by a **ChannelStatus** block: |
||
| 263 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 264 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | ChannelStatus := CHANNEL-STATUS-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 265 | LocalUri |
||
| 266 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 267 | * **LocalUri** is a FaceUri representing local endpoint. |

| 269 | 20 | Junxiao Shi | ## Face Status Change Notification |
| 270 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 271 | 21 | Alex Afanasyev | Face status change events are published as a [[Notification|Notification Stream]] at `ndn:/localhost/nfd/faces/events`. |
| 272 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | Notifications of all faces are sent into the same notification stream. |
| 273 | |||
| 274 | The Content of each notification Data packet is a `FaceEventNotification` block: |
||
| 275 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | |
| 276 | 37 | Junxiao Shi | FaceEventNotification ::= FACE-EVENT-NOTIFICATION-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
| 277 | FaceEventKind |

| 282 | FacePersistency |
||
| 283 | 25 | Junxiao Shi | LinkType |
| 284 | 23 | Alex Afanasyev | |
| 285 | FaceEventKind ::= FACE-EVENT-KIND-TYPE TLV-LENGTH |
||
| 286 | 25 | Junxiao Shi | nonNegativeInteger |
| 287 | 23 | Alex Afanasyev | |
| 288 | 9 | Junxiao Shi | **FaceEventKind** indicates the kind of event. Its possible values are: |
| 289 | |||
| 290 | * **1**: face is created |
||
| 291 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | * **2**: face is destroyed |
| 292 | 34 | Junxiao Shi | |
