• If an Interest is received from a local face, it can be forwarded to a non-local face.
• If an Interest is received from a non-local face, it cannot be forwarded to a non-local face.
• In either case the Interest can be forwarded to a local face.
• PIT entry can be satisfied by Data from any source.

Data packets under prefix ndn:/localhop are unrestricted.

const Name nfd::scope_prefix::LOCALHOST

ndn:/localhost
