[ndnSIM] Memory leaks

[Philipp Moll]

Hi,

I also recognized this memory leak. In some cases the memory consumption 
of my simulations increase linear over the time; at the end of the 
simulation they consume up to 60GB. This problem especially arises in 
scenarios where Multicast is used as FW-Strategy and many packets are sent.

I’m currently working with ndnSIM-2.1 (Commit-Hash: a9d889b).

Regards,
Philipp Moll
