[ndnSIM] Is it possible to make NDN run on top of TCP & Python script

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Xiaoke,

Sure, there is no rush.  I actually tried to make a draft implementation for TCP-based faces, but I haven't done many tests, besides the most basic ones with.  I pushed the code into a feature-tcp-face branch on github (https://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM/tree/feature-tcp-face).  When you have time after you finished with the paper, I would appreciate if you can have a look and do more tests.
