[ndnSIM] Using the setExpiryTImer

[Ashish Pradhan]

Hi Xinyu,

Thank you for your reply.

I am fully aware of the One-Interest-One-Data behavior. However, I have
a custom app(a producer) where it produces multiple data for a single
interest. Then I want all the produced data to reach the consumer. So for
that, I am implementing a custom strategy where the PIT entry lifetime of
the nodes are extended after it receives the first data from the producer.
I have followed the ndnSIM API documentation for it.

beforeSatisfyInterest documentation:
http://ndnsim.net/current/doxygen/classnfd_1_1fw_1_1Strategy.html#a97b4f1e5496c4dd08cc17b5d3d265f08

setExpiryTimer documentation:
http://ndnsim.net/current/doxygen/classnfd_1_1fw_1_1Strategy.html#a967ad88184231f79b245ce202e9d4ea7

Best regards,
Ashish Pradhan
