[ndnSIM] OnInterest/OnData functions : access to an output queue

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi, Natalya!

It is easy, but would take a couple of steps. 

First, you need to figure out what from which type of face you have received a packet (as it could be an application face, which doesn't have a queue).  This could be done using DynamicCast call, like in https://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM/blob/master/model/ndn-l3-protocol.cc#L229.

Second, you will need to get netdevice pointer from the NetDeviceFace using GetNetDevice method (http://ndnsim.net/doxygen/classns3_1_1ndn_1_1_net_device_face.html#ae5ee510df5ba24c4a1aa94343302bb46).

Finally, you can access queue and other NetDevice attributes in a standard NS-3 way.
