[ndnSIM] link failure

[Christian Kreuzberger]

As far as I know, Link failures are, as per the name, LINK failures, and not
node failures.
This means that in theory two nodes can still communicate via alternate
routes.

However, this behaviour depends on the forwarding strategy you use. If you
are using ndnSIM 2.0 + NFD with BestRoute, you might not be able to
experience this behaviour, if you use Broadcast +
CalculateAllPossibleRoutes() you should see the behaviour.

For examples see

and
