[ndnSIM] Difference between Custom and Real NDN Applications

[Inayat Ali]

Thank You Spyros.
What i got from your answer is that "I may need to write a custom app for
producer/consumer and also change the existing forwarding strategy for my
mobility idea implementation depending on my idea requirements." Is that
right?

Thank You
