Hi Fabio,

It's a little bit more complicated than that:

payload() corresponds to ns3::ndn::cs::Entry (model/cs/ndn-content-store.hpp).  You need to call GetData(), and then try to get the tag (it may not exist).

auto data = item->payload()->GetData();
auto dataTag = data->typename getTag<Ns3PacketTag>();
if (dataTag == nullptr) {
  // data has never been transferred over NetDeviceChannel (e.g., from app)
  return;
}
FwHopCountTag tag;
bool hasTag = dataTag->getPacket()->PeekPacketTag(tag);

...
