[ndnSIM] ZipfMandelbrot content size

[Josh J]

Hi Alex,

> ConsumerZipfMandelbrot is a consumer, it sends only interests with the
specified parameters.  What you're talking needs to be implemented on a
producer side.  If you can implement ProducerZipfMandelbort (or some
similar name), I would be very happy to incorporate your code into ndnSIM.

I'm trying to set up the following scenario. N consumers talking to M
producers. Each of the N consumers chooses as a zipf distribution from
which of the M producers to send an interest to (meaning there should be
unique prefixes for each producer). I would also like to vary the content
sizes of each file according to zipf.

When you mention to implement ProducerZipfMandelbort, I'm kind of confused
since I thought one interest matches one data. So wouldn't I need to
generate multiple interests on the consumer side according to the zipf
distribution? What needs to be modified on the producer side?

Thanks,
Josh
