[ndnSIM] Problem with modify ndn-simple to replay

[Ygor Amaral]

Hi Parisa,

One approach that may be ok for you is to add a custom attribute in your
NDN application (AddAttribute, see ndn-consumer-cbr.cpp).

This attribute can be the path to your log file. Then, when instantiating
your application, the full path of the log file will be informed to your
application. For example: consumerHelper.SetAttribute("log_file",
StringValue("/home/parisa/replays/replay1.txt"));

In your application, when it starts up, you will read the file as usual in
C++ (e.g.: std::ifstream).

That is, my suggestion is that the reading of the log file occurs within
the application.

After that, you will be able to make all the schedules, according to your
log file.

Regards,
Ygor Amaral
