[ndnSIM] Link failure scenario and forwarding failed to send packet with different path

[Spyridon (Spyros) Mastorakis]

Hi Hitesh,

probably the Interests are being rejected by a further node across the forwarding path.

You could enable the nfd.Forwarder logging component to monitor the Interest/Data exchange:

NS_LOG=ndn.Producer:ndn.Consumer:nfd.Forwarder ./waf --run scenario_name
