[ndnSIM] Simulation stopping time

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Haroon,

To simulate 5 seconds of network activity, you would want to put Stop(Seconds(5)) in your scenario.  How long such a simulation will take depends on many factors, including machine CPU, memory, topology, and the actual scenario.  But in any case, even if it takes 3 days to finish, NS-3/ndnSIM will simulate just 5 seconds of the network activity in the scenario you have defined.
