[ndnSIM] ndnSIM Help modifying an Interest packet's tag

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Aadil,

It would be easier to figure out the problem, if you had included the actual error.  From what I can guess, you're getting compilation error, complaining that cannot call RemovePacketTag because it is not marked const.

Basically, you're trying to remove tag from the const packet.  Since you're not doing anything wrong here, you can trick the compiler in the following way:

FwCBTag cbtag;
Ptr<Packet> payload = ConstCast<Packet>(interest->GetPayload());
payload->RemovePacketTag(cbtag);
cbtag.Set(inFace->m_fs);
payload->AddPacketTag(cbtag);
