[ndnSIM] Interest name

[Spyridon (Spyros) Mastorakis]

Hi,

in theory, there is no limit on the Interest name length.

Practically, there is a limit on how long a name can be, so that NFD can process it. It is not clear to me what this limit is.

We had a recent incident, where NFD crashed while processing a very long Interest name (~16,000 characters):
