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.

Hi Josh,

That is why I don't really understand what exactly you're trying to achieve.  zipf for consumer requests and zipf for data seems kind of strange.  That is, how can you randomly choose size of data for randomly chosen element?
