[ndnSIM] Caching via aid of Bloom Filters

[John Baugh]

George,

I made a custom caching strategy (even got some publications out of it,
woohoo!) - and I had at one point considered trying something using Bloom
filters also.

You will of course need to create a *subclass *of *Policy *since that what
makes the decision to keep something in the cache or not (
https://ndnsim.net/2.4/doxygen/classnfd_1_1cs_1_1Policy.html).
Specifically, the *afterInsert *method must decide whether to remove or
leave the item just added to the cache.

If you need statistics about incoming interests, you'll have to *modify the
nfd Forwarder *class (
https://ndnsim.net/2.0/doxygen/classnfd_1_1Forwarder.html).  Unfortunately
there isn't (to the best of my knowledge) a way to subclass the forwarder,
so you have to actually dig into the ndnSIM code, modify it, recompile
ndnSIM, and then compile/build your scenario (including Policy subclass,
etc.)

Hope this is a good start?

Thanks,

John
