ns-3 filters not working

[priyatm62]

While simulating the ns-3 filter example (examples/ns3-filter.cc and examples/fed-filter.cc), the federate sends and receives the messages, without it passing through ns-3, even though the end point names in ns-3 match the end points in the federate. This example was tried with no modification from the user.
Versions:
ns-3 source: https://github.com/nsnam/ns-3-dev-git
helics-ns3: Branch: HELICS_2_0
HELICS-src: Tag/v2.0.0-rc1
The simulation was run using these commands -
In terminal 1: helics_broker --federates 2
In terminal 2: From ns-3 source, ./waf --run scratch/ns-3 filter
In terminal 3: From ns-3 source, ./waf --run scratch/fed-filter
The following warning was found in ns-3 log for endpoint 1 and 2 -

able to recreate issue. Looking into issue now

Note:
command: ./waf --run scratch/ns-3 filter -> ./waf --run scratch/ns3-filter

Thanks for noting, that was a typo while writing the issue.

No problem :)

Forgot to note:
User may need to copy from helics-ns3: contrib/helics/examples ns3-filter.cc and fed-filter.cc
into ns-3-dev/scratch

Update:
Andy Fisher and I were able to get a working example and pushed up the code.

Andy is continuing to add additional things so that other people can use this.
