[ndnSIM] Interest Extension

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Narjes,

It depends on the level of the extension you want to achieve.  If the existing nack field is sufficient for you (and you're not using it for anything else), then you can just redefine its meaning.

Otherwise, you can do similar thing what Andriana did (check out the other thread): update ndn::Interest abstraction and update wire format generation/parsing.  Extending Interest class wouldn't work, since it would involve considerable changes in the code.
