[ndnSIM] Additional info to Data and Interest

[Spyridon (Spyros) Mastorakis]

Hi,

yes, you can modify the Data and Interest classes to add the attributes that you want, but please make sure that you modify the wireEncode and wireDecode methods properly so that  the newly added fields are encoded and decoded to/from wire format.

You can also take a look here on how to add custom Tags to packets:

Hope that this helps,
