[ndnSIM] ndnSim is not working over Power line communication infrastructure

[Alex Afanasyev]

Not sure if my answer is too late.

There is a known issue with some NetDevices.  The simplest way to "fix" the problem is to apply the following patch to model/ndn-net-device-face.cc

========================================================================
diff --git a/model/ndn-net-device-face.cc b/model/ndn-net-device-face.cc
index eb2b357..a140aca 100644
--- a/model/ndn-net-device-face.cc
+++ b/model/ndn-net-device-face.cc
@@ -89,7 +89,7 @@ NetDeviceFace::RegisterProtocolHandlers (const InterestHandler &interestHandler,
   Face::RegisterProtocolHandlers (interestHandler, dataHandler);

   m_node->RegisterProtocolHandler (MakeCallback (&NetDeviceFace::ReceiveFromNetDevice, this),
-                                   L3Protocol::ETHERNET_FRAME_TYPE, m_netDevice, true/*promiscuous mode*/);
+                                   0, m_netDevice, false/*promiscuous mode*/);
 }

 void
========================================================================

The more complex way is to define custom NetDeviceFaceCallback.
