[ndnSIM] List of faces as a packet field

[ioannoa]

Hello everyone,

I am looking to have an extra field in my packet - both Interest & 
ContentObject - that would allow me to keep a list of faces for further 
use.

This field may need to be updated at the Consumer and the Forwarding 
strategy - exclude the security logic here, please.

So, I have updated my Interest & ContentObject classes accordingly as 
well as the ndnsim.cc file. I have also included some related stuff in 
the Consumer and Forwarding strategy to be able to update the list along 
the way. I am trying to have this field as another Name type. However, I 
do get an error message when I run the simulation: i.e.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 
'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<ns3::ndn::error::Name>'
   what():  std::exception

Eventhough, I have tried to include everything that involves the 
creation of naming into a try{..}catch{..} case, I still get that 
message which does not help me finding what am I doing wrong. I have 
also used gdb to debug and I get no related messages.

Any ideas/help/direction on what I am be doing wrong or how to proceed 
with this?

p.s. I am using the v.1 of the ndnSIM code.

Thanks anyways,
Andriana.
