+=================
+Metis (mythology)
+Metis was the the Titaness of wisdom and deep thought. The Greek word
+"metis" meant a quality that combined wisdom and cunning.
+=================
+
+Metis is the CCNx 1.0 forwarder.  It uses a modular design so adding new
+encapsulations, forwarding behavior, or event dispatching is
+well-defined and has minimum (or no) side effects.
+
+=================
+Building
+
+"make" will create "libmetis.a" and "metis".  The library is used by other
+parts of Libccnx, such as Transport testing and the mobile builds.  The
+executable "metis" is for command-line invocation of a forwarding daemon.
+
+Metis uses a few things from parc/algol and ccnx/common.
+
+Metis uses the LongBow XUnit test framework. "make check" will run the tests.
+
+Metis is built with Libevent 2.0 for the dispatcher.  Libevent is visible in the
+code in the following modules.  To use a different event dispatcher, these modules
+would need to be updated: metisDispatcher.c, metisStreamBuffer.c, metisMessage.c,
+metis_StreamConnection.c
+
+=================
+Code Layout
+
+Each directory has its code and headers along with a test/ subdirectory with
+LongBow unit tests.
+
+config/
+config/test
+- Forwarder configuration, from a file or CLI or web
+  The default telnet port is 2001.
+  The default web port is 2002.
+
+core/
+core/test
+- The forwarder (metisForwarder) that bundles the whole thing and the event
+  dispatcher (metisDispatcher).  Also includes various utility classes, such as
+  MetisMessage that wraps all messages inside the forwarder.
+
+io/
+io/test/
+- I/O related primatives.  These include "listeners" that monitor for specific types
+  of incoming packets.  io/ includes tunnels, ip overlays, and direct L2 encapsulation.
+
+messenger/
+messenger/test/
+- event messages within the router, such as notificaitons when an interface
+  comes up or goes down.
+
+platforms/
+- platform specific functions, such as dealing with interfaces and
+  direct Ethernet encapsulation.  The files in here implement function
+  prototypes (usually in core/ or io/), and are tested with unit tests of those
+  prototypes.  So, there is no platforms/test/ directory.
+
+processor/
+processor/test/
+- The message processor.  Forwards Interests and objects.
+
+strategies/
+strategies/test/
+- Forwarding strategies.  Each FIB entry indicates the strategy that should
+  be used to forward an interest among its entries.
+
+libmetis.a
+- The output library
+
+test/
+- These are system-level tests

+/**
+ * @file metis_LruList.h
+ * @brief Maintains an LRU for the content store
+ *
+ * An LRU list is make up of LRU entries.  The entries are bound to the list.
+ * The user of the list is reponsible for knowing when there's too many things and
+ * wants to remove one.  The LRU list will grow without bound otherwise.
+ *
+ * The LRU list is meant to be used as an auxiliary data structure, not the primary
+ * storage of data elements.
+ *
+ * Example Usage:
+ *
+ * <code>
+ *  myClass_Create() {
+ *      ...
+ *      me->lru = metisLruList_Create();
+ *      ...
+ *  }
+ *

+/**
+ * @file metis_HopByHopFragmenterer.h
+ * @brief Implements a fragmenter for a hop-by-hop protocol
+ *
+ * The hop-by-hop fragmenter can be though of as a bi-directional queue.
+ *
+ * The receive process takes fragmented packets from the wire and reassembles them.  Once a packet is
+ * reassembed, it is put on end of the receive queue.  The user can then pop a message of the top of
+ * the receive queue and process it normally.
+ *
+ * The send process takes a potentially large input packet and fragments it in to pieces that are places
+ * in order on the send queue.  The caller can then pop messages of the head of the send queue and
+ * put them on the wire.
+ *
+ * In the next update, we probalby want to make the send queue and receive queue external so I/O and
+ * message processing threads can access them directly.

+ *
+ * A Forwarding Information Base (FIB) entry (MetisFibEntry) is a
+ * set of nexthops for a name.  It also indicates the forwarding strategy.
+ *
+ * Each nexthop contains the ConnectionId assocaited with it.  This could be
+ * something specific like a MAC address or point-to-point tunnel.  Or, it
+ * could be something general like a MAC group address or ip multicast overlay.
+ *
+ * See metis/strategies/metis_Strategy.h for a description of forwarding strategies.
+ * In short, a strategy is the algorithm used to select one or more nexthops from
+ * the set of available nexthops.
+ *
+ * Each nexthop also contains a void* to a forwarding strategy data container.
+ * This allows a strategy to keep proprietary information about each nexthop.

+ *             The total length of that segment is 4 + 4 = 8, including the T and L.
+ *             The outputArray would be { {.offset=0, .length=8}, {.offset=8, .length=6}, {.offset=14, .length=14} }.

+ * @param name is a TLV-encoded name, not including the container name TLV
+ * @param nameLength is the length of the name
+ * @param outputArrayPtr is an allocated array of ordered extents, must be freed with <code>parcMemory_Deallocate()</code>
+ * @param outputLengthPtr is the number of elements allocated in the array.

+ * @brief The structure used to store the set of fields used by the forwarder
+ *
+ * The TLV skeleton is the parsed form of the packet.  It contains the TLV extents of each
+ * field relevant to the forwarder.
+ *
+ * To use MetisTlvSkeleton, you first parse a packet in to the skeleton and can then access the various
+ * TlvExtents from the getters.  The Tlv parsers use the Setters.
+ *
+ * The TlvSkeleton is not allocated memory (in general).  It is defined as a sized opaque struct so one
+ * can use it as a member of another struct without deep allocations.  The general use is as shown in
+ * the example below.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * typedef struct my_data_s {
+ *      unsigned id;
+ *      MetisTlvSkeleton skeleton;
+ * } MyData;
+ *
+ * void foo(uint8_t *packetBuffer)
+ * {
+ *    MyData *mydata = parcMemory_Allocate(sizeof(MyData));
+ *    mydata->id = _global_id++;
+ *    metisTlvSkeleton_Parse(&mydata->skeleton, packetBuffer);
+ *    // now forward the packet using the data in the skeleton
+ *    parcMemory_Deallocate(&mydata);

+			<listitem>
+				<para>
+					Adds an Ethernet connection on <replaceable class="parameter">interface</replaceable>  to the given destination MAC address.
+					The <replaceable class="parameter">symbolic</replaceable> name is a symbolic name for the connection, which may be used in
+					later commands, such as <command>add route</command>.
+                    There must be an Ethernet Listener on the specified interface (see <command>add listener</command>), and the connection
+                    will use the same EtherType as the Listener. The <replaceable class="parameter">dmac</replaceable> destination MAC address
+					is in hexidecimal with optional "-" or ":" separators.
+				</para>
+				<para>
+					A connection is a target for a later route assignment or for use as an ingress identifier in the PIT.  When using a broadcast
+					or group address for a connection, an Interest routed over that connection will be broadcast.  Many receivers may respond.
+					When Metis receives a broadcast Interest it uses the unicast source MAC for the reverse route -- it will automatically create
+ 				    a new connection for the source node and put that in the PIT entry, so a Content Object answering the broadcast Interest will
+					only be unicast to the previous hop.

+				<para>
+					Opens a connection to the specific <replaceable class="parameter">remote_ip</replaceable> (which may be a hostname, though you do not have control over IPv4 or IPv6 in this case) on <replaceable class="parameter">remote_port</replaceable>.  The local endpoint is given by <replaceable class="parameter">local_ip</replaceable> <replaceable class="parameter">local_port</replaceable>.  While the <replaceable class="parameter">local_ip</replaceable> <replaceable class="parameter">local_port</replaceable> are technically optional parameters, the system's choice of local address may not be what one expects or may be a different protocols (4 or 6).  The default port is 9695.
+				</para>
+				<para>
+					A TCP connection will go through a TCP connection establishment and will not register as UP until the remote side accepts.  If one side goes down, the TCP connection will not auto-restart if it becomes availble again.

+					A UDP connection will start in the UP state and will not go DOWN unless there is a serious network error.

+					Adds a protocol listener to accept packets of a given protocol (TCP or UDP or Ethernet).
+					The <replaceable class="parameter">symbolic</replaceable> name represents the listener and will be used in future commands
+					such as access list restrictions.  If using a configuration file on <command>metis_daemon</command>, you must include
+					a listener on localhost for local applications to use.

+					or an integer (e.g. 2049).

+	<command>metis_daemon</command>
+is the CCNx 1.0 forwarder, which runs on each end system and as a software forwarder
+on intermediate systems.  metis_daemon is the program to launch Metis, either as a console program
+or a background daemon (detatched from console).  Once running, use the program <command>metis_control</command> to
+configure Metis.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+Metis is structured as a set of Listeners, each of which handles a specific method of listening for packets.
+For example, a TCP listener will accept connections on a specific TCP port on a specific local IP address.
+An Ethernet listener will accept frames of a specific EtherType on a specific Interface.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+When Metis accepts a connection, it will create a Connection entry in the ConnectionTable to represent that peer.
+For Ethernet, a Connection is the tuple {dmac, smac, ethertype}.  For TCP and UDP, it is the tuple {source IP, source port,
+destination IP, destination port}.  The connid (connection ID) becomes the reverse route index in the Pending Interest Table.

+HOWTO-ForwarderConfig
+==================================
+
+Version 1.0 5/23/14 Marc
+Version 1.1 4/6/15 Marc - updated for symbolic names
+
+------------
+Abstract
+------------
+This document describes how to configure the forwarder using the
+command-line utility.
+
+------------
+Starting
+------------
+From the Distillery directory execute the "metis_control" program
+
+Distillery> build/bin/metis_control
+
+This will begin an interactive shell to configure the forwarder.  Use
+the "help" command to see available options.
+
+Alternatively, you can use one of the many command-line options to
+execute a specific command without using the interactive mode.
+
+All configuration lines may be placed in a configuration file and used
+with the "--config file" command-line option to metis_daemon.
+
+------------
+Options
+------------
+
+Executing "metis_control help" will display this message:
+
+	Command-line execution:
+	   metis_control [--keystore <keystorepath>] [--password <password>] command
+
+	Interactive execution:
+	   metis_control [--keystore <keystorepath>] [--password <password>]
+
+	If the keystore is not specified, the default path is used. Keystore must exist prior to running program.
+	If the password is not specified, the user will be prompted.
+
+	Available commands:
+	   help add
+	   help list
+	   help quit
+	   help remove
+	   help set
+	   help unset
+
+===== Listeners
+
+> help add listener
+commands:
+   add listener <symbolic> <protocol> <localAddress> <PortOrEtherType>
+
+   symbolic:        User defined name for listener, must start with alpha and be alphanum
+   protocol:        tcp | udp | ether
+   localAddress:    IPv4 or IPv6 or hostname or interface name (see examples)
+   PortOrEtherType: TCP/UDP port or EtherType (base 10 or use 0x for base 16)
+
+Notes:
+   The local address must be on the system (see 'help list interfaces' command).
+   For Ethernet, the broadcast and CCNx group address will also be added.
+   The symblic name must be unique or the forwarder will reject it.
+
+Examples:
+   Listens to 192.168.1.7 on tcp port 9695
+      add listener homenet  tcp 192.168.1.7 9695
+
+   Listens to IPv6 localhost on udp port 9695
+      add listener localhost6 udp ::1 9695
+
+   Listens to interface 'en0' on ethertype 0x0801
+      add listener nic0 ether en0 0x0801
+
+===== Connections
+
+> help add connection udp
+add connection udp <symbolic> <remote_ip|hostname> <remote_port> [<local_ip|hostname> [<local_port>]]
+  <symbolic>              : symbolic name, e.g. 'conn1' (must be unique, start with alpha)
+  <remote_ip | hostname>  : the IPv4 or IPv6 or hostname of the remote system
+  <remote_port>           : the remote TCP port
+  <local_ip>              : optional local IP address to bind to
+  <local_port>            : optional local TCP port, random if not specified
+
+Examples:
+   add connection udp conn1 1.1.1.1 1200
+      opens a connection to IP address 1.1.1.1 port 1200 using the best local
+      interface and random local port.
+   add connection udp barney2 fe80::aa20:66ff:fe00:314a 1300
+     opens connection to IPv6 address on port 1300.
+
+   add connection udp conn0 1.1.1.1 1200 2.2.2.2 1300
+     opens a connection to 1.1.1.1 on port 1200 from the local address 2.2.2.2 port 1300
+
+   add connection udp conn3 ccn.parc.com 9695
+     opens a connection to the host 'ccn.parc.com' on port 9695.
+     Maybe an IPv4 or IPv6 connection as the name is resolved and connectivity permits.
+
+A UDP connection will be usable immediately, even if the remote side has not accepted.
+
+> help add connection tcp
+add connection tcp <symbolic> <remote_ip|hostname> <remote_port> [<local_ip|hostname> [<local_port>]]
+  <symbolic>              : symbolic name, e.g. 'conn1' (must be unique, start with alpha)
+  <remote_ip | hostname>  : the IPv4 or IPv6 or hostname of the remote system
+  <remote_port>           : the remote TCP port
+  <local_ip>              : optional local IP address to bind to
+  <local_port>            : optional local TCP port, random if not specified
+
+Examples:
+   add connection tcp conn1 1.1.1.1 1200
+      opens a connection to IP address 1.1.1.1 port 1200 using the best local
+      interface and random local port.
+   add connection tcp barney2 fe80::aa20:66ff:fe00:314a 1300
+     opens connection to IPv6 address on port 1300.
+
+   add connection tcp conn0 1.1.1.1 1200 2.2.2.2 1300
+     opens a connection to 1.1.1.1 on port 1200 from the local address 2.2.2.2 port 1300
+
+   add connection tcp conn3 ccn.parc.com 9695
+     opens a connection to the host 'ccn.parc.com' on port 9695.
+     Maybe an IPv4 or IPv6 connection as the name is resolved and connectivity permits.
+
+A TCP connection will not be usable until the remote peer accepts the connection.
+
+> help add connection ether
+add connection ether <symbolic> <destination_mac> <local_interface>
+  <symbolic>         : symbolic name, e.g. 'conn1' (must be unique, start with alpha)
+  <destination_mac>  : destination MAC address in hex (optional ":" or "-" separators)
+  <local_interface>  : the name of the local interface (e.g. "en0")
+
+Examples:
+   add connection ether conn7 e8-06-88-cd-28-de em3
+      Creates a connection to e8-06-88-cd-28-de on interface em3, ethertype = 0x0801
+
+   add connection ether hal2 00:1c:42:00:00:08 eth0
+     Creates a connection to 00:1c:42:00:00:08 on interface eth0, ethertype = 0x0801
+
+   add connection ether bcast0 FFFFFFFFFFFF eth0
+     Creates a broadcast connection on eth0 with ethertype = 0x0801
+
+===== Routes
+
+> help add route
+commands:
+   add route <symbolic | connid> <prefix> <cost>
+
+   symbolic:  The symbolic name for an exgress
+   connid:    The egress connection id (see 'help list connections')
+   prefix:    The CCNx name as a URI (e.g. lci:/foo/bar)
+   cost:      positive integer representing cost
+   nexthop:   Optional network endpoint on the connection
+   seconds:   Create a route that will expire if not refresed within the lifetime
+
+Examples:
+   add route 7 lci:/foo/bar 1
+      adds route to prefix '/foo/bar' on egress connection 7 with cost 1
+   add route tun3 lci:/foo/bar 1
+      adds route to prefix '/foo/bar' on egress connection 'tun3' with cost 1
+
+------------
+Related
+------------
+
+build/bin/parc_publickey is used to generate a keystore.  See HOWTO-Keystore.
+
+------------
+Caveats
+------------
+1) There is no fragmentation for Ethernet, so all messages must fit in an MTU

+\fBmetis_control\fP\fB(1)\fP.  This 
+document specifies all available command lines used to configure and query Metis.

+All commands have a 'help', so typing 'help command' will display on-line help.

+ 
+.SH "ADD COMMANDS" 
+.IP "add connection ether \fIsymbolic\fR \fIdmac\fR \fIinterface\fR" 10 
+Adds an Ethernet connection on \fIinterface\fR  to the given destination MAC address. 
+The \fIsymbolic\fR name is a symbolic name for the connection, which may be used in 
+later commands, such as \fBadd route\fR. 
+There must be an Ethernet Listener on the specified interface (see \fBadd listener\fR), and the connection  
+will use the same EtherType as the Listener. The \fIdmac\fR destination MAC address 
+is in hexidecimal with optional "\-" or ":" separators. 
+ 
+.IP "" 10 
+A connection is a target for a later route assignment or for use as an ingress identifier in the PIT.  When using a broadcast 
+or group address for a connection, an Interest routed over that connection will be broadcast.  Many receivers may respond. 
+When Metis receives a broadcast Interest it uses the unicast source MAC for the reverse route \-\- it will automatically create 
+a new connection for the source node and put that in the PIT entry, so a Content Object answering the broadcast Interest will 
+only be unicast to the previous hop.

+Opens a connection to the specific \fIremote_ip\fR (which may be a hostname, though you do not have control over IPv4 or IPv6 in this case) on \fIremote_port\fR.  The local endpoint is given by \fIlocal_ip\fR \fIlocal_port\fR.  While the \fIlocal_ip\fR \fIlocal_port\fR are technically optional parameters, the system's choice of local address may not be what one expects or may be a different protocols (4 or 6).  The default port is 9695. 
+ 
+.IP "" 10 
+A TCP connection will go through a TCP connection establishment and will not register as UP until the remote side accepts.  If one side goes down, the TCP connection will not auto-restart if it becomes availble again.

+\fIcost\fR is the cost of the route.  It is not used. 
+\fInext\fR is the nexthop on a multiple access interface.  it is not used

+       usable with mmeettiiss__ddaaeemmoonn((11)), though there is nothing special about  the

+       with mmeettiiss__ccoonnttrrooll((11)).  This document specifies all  available  command
+       lines used to configure and query Metis.
+
+       All  commands  have a 'help', so typing 'help command' will display on-
+       line help.

+                 Adds an Ethernet connection on _i_n_t_e_r_f_a_c_e  to the given desti-
+                 nation MAC address.  The _s_y_m_b_o_l_i_c name is a symbolic name for
+                 the connection, which may be used in later commands, such  as
+                 aadddd  rroouuttee.  There must be an Ethernet Listener on the speci-
+                 fied interface (see aadddd lliisstteenneerr), and  the  connection  will
+                 use  the same EtherType as the Listener. The _d_m_a_c destination
+                 MAC address is in hexidecimal with optional "-" or ":"  sepa-
+                 rators.
+
+
+                 A  connection is a target for a later route assignment or for
+                 use as an ingress identifier in the PIT.  When using a broad-
+                 cast  or  group  address for a connection, an Interest routed
+                 over that connection will be broadcast.  Many  receivers  may
+                 respond.   When  Metis  receives a broadcast Interest it uses
+                 the unicast source MAC for the reverse route -- it will auto-
+                 matically create a new connection for the source node and put
+                 that in the PIT entry, so  a  Content  Object  answering  the

+       list connections
+                 Enumerates  the  current connections to Metis.  These include
+                 all TCP, UDP, Unix Domain, and Ethernet peers.  Each  connec-
+                 tion  has  an connection ID (connid) and a state (UP or DOWN)
+                 followed by the local (to metis) and remote addresses.
+
+
+       list interfaces
+                 Enumerates the system interfaces available  to  Metis.   Each
+                 interface has an Interface ID, a 'name' (e.g. 'eth0'), an MTU
+                 as reported by the system, and one or more addresses.
+
+
+       list routes
+                 Enumerates the routes installed in the FIB.  The _i_f_a_c_e is the
+                 out-bound connection.  The _p_r_o_t_o_c_o_l is the the routing proto-
+                 col that injected  the  route.   _r_o_u_t_e  is  the  route  type.
+                 'LONGEST'  means  longest  matching  prefix and 'EXACT' means
+                 exact match.  Only 'LONGEST' is supported.  _c_o_s_t is the  cost
+                 of the route.  It is not used.  _n_e_x_t is the nexthop on a mul-
+                 tiple access interface.  it is not used because  the  current
+                 implementation  uses  one  connection  (iface)  per neighbor.
+                 _p_r_e_f_i_x is the CCNx name prefix for the route.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
+.PP 
+\fBmetis_daemon\fR is the CCNx 1.0 forwarder, which runs on each end system and as a software forwarder 
+on intermediate systems.  metis_daemon is the program to launch Metis, either as a console program 
+or a background daemon (detatched from console).  Once running, use the program \fBmetis_control\fR to 
+configure Metis. 
+ 
+.PP 
+Metis is structured as a set of Listeners, each of which handles a specific method of listening for packets. 
+For example, a TCP listener will accept connections on a specific TCP port on a specific local IP address. 
+An Ethernet listener will accept frames of a specific EtherType on a specific Interface.   
+ 
+.PP 
+When Metis accepts a connection, it will create a Connection entry in the ConnectionTable to represent that peer. 
+For Ethernet, a Connection is the tuple {dmac, smac, ethertype}.  For TCP and UDP, it is the tuple {source IP, source port, 
+destination IP, destination port}.  The connid (connection ID) becomes the reverse route index in the Pending Interest Table. 
+ 
+.SH "OPTIONS" 
+.IP "\-\-config \fIconfigfile\fR" 10 
+Reads configuration parameters from 
+\fIconfigfile\fR. 
+The  
+\fI\-\-port\fR option has no effect in this mode 
+and Metis will not listen to any ports.  This means that  
+\fBmetis_control\fR will not be able to connect to Metis to configure it 
+further unless one includes at least a listener for TCP localhost or a unix domain socket. 
+ 
+.IP "\-\-capacity \fIcontentStoreSize\fR" 10 
+Sets the capacity of the Content Store to  
+\fIcontentStoreSize\fR content objects. 
+Metis uses a least-recently-used eviction policy.  A size of 0 will disable the 
+Content Store. 
+ 
+.IP "" 10 
+The Content Store sits on the fast path of the forwarder, so there is a cost 
+associated with adding and removing items to the Content Store tables. 
+ 
+.IP "\-\-daemon" 10 
+Runs Metis in daemon mode, detaching from the console.  It must 
+be run with the \fI\-\-log-file\fR option. 
+ 
+.IP "\-\-log \fIfacility\fR=\fIlevel\fR" 10 
+Sets the log level of the given  
+\fIfacility\fR 			to the given 
+\fIlevel\fR. 
+The \fI\-\-log\fR option may be repeated 
+several times setting the log level of different facilities.  If the same 
+facility is listed twice, only the last occurance takes effect. 
+The default log level is Error for all facilities.

+       the  program  to  launch  Metis, either as a console program or a back‐
+       ground daemon (detatched from console).  Once running, use the  program
+       mmeettiiss__ccoonnttrrooll to configure Metis.
+
+
+       Metis is structured as a set of Listeners, each of which handles a spe‐
+       cific method of listening for packets.  For  example,  a  TCP  listener
+       will  accept  connections on a specific TCP port on a specific local IP
+       address.  An Ethernet listener will accept frames of a specific  Ether‐
+       Type on a specific Interface.
+
+
+       When  Metis  accepts a connection, it will create a Connection entry in
+       the ConnectionTable to represent that peer.  For Ethernet, a Connection
+       is the tuple {dmac, smac, ethertype}.  For TCP and UDP, it is the tuple
+       {source IP, source port, destination IP, destination port}.  The connid
+       (connection ID) becomes the reverse route index in the Pending Interest
+       Table.
+
+

+       --config _c_o_n_f_i_g_f_i_l_e
+                 Reads configuration parameters from _c_o_n_f_i_g_f_i_l_e.   The  _-_-_p_o_r_t
+                 option  has  no effect in this mode and Metis will not listen
+                 to any ports.  This means that mmeettiiss__ccoonnttrrooll will not be able
+                 to  connect  to  Metis  to  configure  it  further unless one
+                 includes at least a listener for  TCP  localhost  or  a  unix
+                 domain socket.
+
+
+       --capacity _c_o_n_t_e_n_t_S_t_o_r_e_S_i_z_e
+                 Sets  the  capacity  of the Content Store to _c_o_n_t_e_n_t_S_t_o_r_e_S_i_z_e
+                 content objects.  Metis uses a  least-recently-used  eviction
+                 policy.  A size of 0 will disable the Content Store.
+
+
+                 The  Content Store sits on the fast path of the forwarder, so
+                 there is a cost associated with adding and removing items  to
+                 the Content Store tables.
+
+
+       --daemon  Runs  Metis  in  daemon mode, detaching from the console.  It
+                 must be run with the _-_-_l_o_g_-_f_i_l_e option.
+
+
+       --log _f_a_c_i_l_i_t_y=_l_e_v_e_l
+                 Sets the log level of the given  _f_a_c_i_l_i_t_y             to  the
+                 given  _l_e_v_e_l.  The _-_-_l_o_g option may be repeated several times
+                 setting the log level of different facilities.  If  the  same
+                 facility  is  listed  twice,  only  the  last occurance takes
+                 effect.  The default log level is Error for all facilities.
+
+
+                 Facilities:
+
+                    ·  all: All facilities.
+
+
+                    ·  config: Configuration activies.
+
+
+                    ·  core: Core forwarder, such as startup and shutdown.
+
+
+                    ·  io: Listeners, connections, and all I/O related activi‐
+                       ties.
+
+
+                    ·  message: CCNx messages, such as parsing.
+
+
+                    ·  processor:  Forwarding  processor, such as CS, FIB, and
+                       PIT activities.
+
+
+
+                 The log levels are:  debug,  info,  notice,  warning,  error,
+                 critical, alert, off.
+
+
+       --log-file _l_o_g_f_i_l_e
+                 Specifies  the _l_o_g_f_i_l_e             to write all log messages.
+                 This parameter is required with _-_-_d_a_e_m_o_n mode.
+
+
+       --port _p_o_r_t
+                 The UDP  and  TCP  port  to  listen  on.   If  no  _c_o_n_f_i_g_f_i_l_e
+                 is  specified,  Metis  will listen on this port on all inter‐
+                 faces including localhost.
+
+
+                 If this parameter is not given, Metis uses the  default  port
+                 9695.

+          ·  A given interface may only have  one  Ethernet  listener  on  one
+             EtherType.
+
+
+          ·  If  there are multiple longest matching prefix entries that match
+             an Interest, it will be forwarded to all those routes (i.e.  mul‐
+             ticast).
+
+
+          ·  Ethernet  fragmentation will only use the interface MTU and there
+             is not MTU discovery.  If Metis is used in a bridged environment,
+             this may lead to errors if the MTU changes on different segments,
+             such as a 10G link at 9000 bytes and a  100  Mbps  link  at  1500
+             bytes.
