[ndnSIM] Pending Interest Table

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Xee,

I'm not sure what do you mean by the producer side, since producers only satisfy interests, they don't deal with interest lifetime in any way...

As for the consumer side.  How are you expecting to know PIT sizes, and which PIT sizes are you thinking about?  On the consumer node (kind of possible, but requires communicating between app and ndn::L3Protocol)?  If you want something more, you will need to implement some additional protocol to exchange PIT sizes and communicate them back to the consumer, but I'm not sure how can that be implemented. Of course, in the simulator you can cheat in many ways and get hold of any node from any other node, but it still would require some deep hacking.

As for changing interest lifetime, there is a call GetInterestLifetime and SetInterestLifetime in ndn::Interest class. You can use them to get/set lifetime of a specific interest.

I am unable to process the PIT values from function to program main body, it may be because I am not strong in C++ language. I need your help me to do this.
