/**
+ * @file iface_node.h
+ *
+ * Implements the input and output iface nodes. Input iface nodes
+ * process incoming interests while output face nodes process outgoing
+ * data packets.
+ *
+ * Input iface nodes follow ip-lookup nodes and their purpose
+ * is to create (or retrieve if already existing) the list incoming face
+ * for each the interest packet.
+ * The following node to the input iface nodes is the hicn-interest-pcslookup.
+ * Output iface nodes follow the hicn-data-fwd and the hicn-interest-hitcs nodes and
+ * they perform the dst nat on each data packet. The node following the
+ * output face nodes depends on the adjacency type. In case of ip, the following
+ * node is the ip4/6-lookup, in case of tunnels the next node is the one implementing
+ * the tunnel encapsulation (udp-encap, mpls, etc).
