[ndnSIM] where the FaceMetric is used?

[Klaus Schneider]

As Spyros said, the FaceMetric is mostly used by the GlobalRoutingHelper 
as weight for the Dijkstra's shortest path calculation.

Sure, it's safe to use. However, consider that the face metric only 
gives you the weight of a single link. Depending on your scenario, you 
might be more interested in the sum of all face metrics toward the 
content source.

Best regards,
Klaus

I cannot the usage of this attribute in current version of simulator. can anyone tell me please, where the FaceMetric is used in current version of simulator?
