[ndnSIM] Mobility Model and Trace File

[Ygor Amaral]

Hi IHK,

Detail more about what you do not understand about the trace files. For me,
the documentation is very detailed in this regard.

Have you read this document? Url: https://ndnsim.net/current/metric.html

L2Tracer does not track what you want. How the documentation
explains, L2Tracer currently traces only packet drop on layer 2.

ndn::L3RateTracer and ndn::AppDelayTracer track what you want to get.

Regards,
Ygor Amaral
