[ndnSIM] ndnsim some problems about caching

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Julia,

`cached' variable is set to true whenever the item was successfully cached by the ContentStore.  For all default caching policies, this value is always be true if the Data packet was requested (i.e., there is an outstanding PIT entry).  But, you make design your own caching policy that may reject to cache items.

For the second question.  If suspect that you have installed just one consumer application. In this case, this application is requesting unique pieces of data within the configured prefix (unique sequence numbers: /prefix/0, /prefix/1, ...) and you don't see any effects of caching.

As my understanding, the first request's response will let all the nodes in route cached data, then the request node will has a near node which cached data. When the same request be sent again, the best routing isn't the near node? But I find wether two oi more times,the same routing was chose.Could you tell me why?
