[ndnSIM] nonce value deletion in PIT entry

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi huyao,

1) It is not possible right now, but you can easily implement method pit::Entry::RemoveSeenNonce in pit/ndn-pit-entry.h|cc.  The underlying data structure is a simple std::set.  (Is there a reason you want this functionality?)

2) You can try to use content store that respects freshness field in DATA packets (http://ndnsim.net/cs.html#content-stores-respecting-freshness-field-of-contentobjects) and then set up different freshness parameter (SetFreshness) in different DATA packets. If you set freshness to 1ns (if you set up 0, freshness policy https://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM/blob/master/model/cs/custom-policies/freshness-policy.h#L107 will assume that DATA packet should be cached for as long as possible), which will force this specific packet to be removed from cache almost immediately.

Alternatively, you can modify this policy (or better, create a new one) and treat freshness 0 as indication to disable caching.
