[ndnSIM] attach arbitrary information to Interest/Data packet

Tue Dec 27 11:16:38 PST 2016

Hi Teng,

a solution is to add the information as an NDNLPv2 tag. You can take a look at the following commits, where I have done the same thing for the HopCount tag for the latest ndnSIM release:

Hope that this helps,
