[ndnSIM] how to modify FIB entries during the simulation time

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply. I will try to implement such a new fib helper class
within my ability scope if time permits.

Sorry, one more simple question about this issue.. Now I am filling
something in the function DidReceiveSolicitedData ( ) in
ndn-forwarding-strategy.cc. So how to get hold of the specific node or node
name as a parameter to say AddRoute() function or further get hold of the
fib on a specific node. Or my way is wrong?


Regards,
huyao
