[ndnSIM] How to get the Interest information from each face?

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Chengyu,

A slow tracer installation speed is an artifact of the current way I have implemented the tracer.  There is definitely a need to add a couple of other Install methods that would allow more granular installing.  

If you have time, you can convert the existing InstallAll method to Install(node,...) and the make a new variant of InstallAll to be wrapped on top of Install.   I have a little bit overloaded at the moment to make it myself, but would be happy to integrate your patch/commit.

There is another improvement that could be made inside Connect method. As it stands right now, there is absolutely no reason to use Config::Connect, which becomes a bottleneck in cases similar to yours.  When I get time, I'll push a correction to optimize the process.
