Hi Saran,

Just create your new policy file, and then in src/ndnSIM/model/cs/content-store-impl.cpp  add the following:

template class ContentStoreImpl<your_policy_traits>;
NS_OBJECT_ENSURE_REGISTERED_TEMPL(ContentStoreImpl, your_policy_traits);

Essentially, you need to instantiate a new content policy class with your policy.  After the class is instantiated, you can use it in ndnHelper.
