[ndnSIM] Drop cached data in ndnsim

[Spyridon Mastorakis]

One thing you can do without actually dropping any cached packets (and it is a straightforward “hack”) is to set the freshness period of data packets to 0 (or something very close to that) and set the MustBeFresh flag of Interests to true (so that you simply ignore stale cached data packets):

If you really need to drop the packets, then I can give you another solution.

Hello there,
In continue of my previous email regarding dropping cached data, I have noticed that I need to erase data (using before evict signal)from cache and also clean up the index from policy. Since I want to command the cache to erase data from the forward.cpp file, I would like to know I can use Cs:: erase function to erase data from cache ?
May I know that I need still to cleanup index from policy as well.
I will be grateful to know our suggestions and guidance
Thanks
Best regards
Zeinab
