Hi Asim,

While I still could not see how a distributed ledger could detect or
prevent interest flooding (would be very interesting to see), are you
planning to inject blockchain technology to the forwarders or to the nodes
that run applications?

For the forwarders, you may take a look into NFD, which works on both
ndnSIM and mini-net <https://minindn.memphis.edu/>.

For the applications, I would suggest you try mini-net if the topology is
not large, or alternatively look into ndnSIM application classes
<https://ndnsim.net/current/applications.html>.
