[ndnSIM] How to find PIT size in forwarding strategy

[Eric Binnendyk]

Hello,

Does anyone know the best way to do this? If I make a custom directory for
my scenario, can I overwrite the default Strategy class by putting my
modified Strategy class inside the extensions/ directory? Should I give the
modified Strategy class a different name? I am trying to implement the
strategy described in this paper to give myself ndnSIM practice:

Thanks,

Eric
