[ndnSIM] Help Needed: Getting Node Name in Forwarder.cpp for Output Logging

[Mohammad R. Shakournia]

Dear ndnSIM community,




I am currently working on measuring CS and PIT lookup times in **Forwarder.cpp** by using a clock in the **onIncomingInterest** function. I log these measurements to separate output files for each node. However, I am facing an issue:





1. The node names are **not appearing** in my output files.

2. When using tracers like **L3Tracer**, multiple faces are assigned to each node, making it difficult to map **faceId** to the corresponding **node name**, even with explicit mapping.




I tried retrieving node names using ns3::Names::FindName(node), but it does not always return the expected results. Could you please guide me on how to correctly obtain the **node name** in **Forwarder.cpp** and include it in my output logs?




Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.




Best regards,
Mohammad Reza Shakournia
