We created a packet tag following the steps from (http://www.lists.cs.ucla.edu/pipermail/ndnsim/2016-December/003254.html). How do we set this field on the method 'OnTimeout'? (Specifically: How do we pass the interest to this method?)

A way to do that is to maintain a list of the sent Interests as a part of the consumer application, then find the Interest that caused the timeout based on the sequence number.

After that, you can set the Interest field that you like.
