// n1 ------------------------------------ n2 ----------------------------------- n3
//   point-to-point (access link)                point-to-point (bottleneck link)
//   100 Mbps, 0.1 ms                            bandwidth [10 Mbps], delay [5 ms]
//   qdiscs PfifoFast with capacity              qdiscs queueDiscType in {PfifoFast, ARED, CoDel, FqCoDel, PIE} [PfifoFast]
//   of 1000 packets                             with capacity of queueDiscSize packets [1000]
//   netdevices queues with size of 100 packets  netdevices queues with size of netdevicesQueueSize packets [100]
//   without BQL                                 bql BQL [false]
//   *** fixed configuration ***
//
// Two TCP flows are generated: one from n1 to n3 and the other from n3 to n1.
// Additionally, n1 pings n3, so that the RTT can be measured.
//
// The output will consist of a number of ping Rtt such as:
//
//    /NodeList/0/ApplicationList/2/$ns3::V4Ping/Rtt=111 ms
//    /NodeList/0/ApplicationList/2/$ns3::V4Ping/Rtt=111 ms
//    /NodeList/0/ApplicationList/2/$ns3::V4Ping/Rtt=110 ms
//    /NodeList/0/ApplicationList/2/$ns3::V4Ping/Rtt=111 ms
//    /NodeList/0/ApplicationList/2/$ns3::V4Ping/Rtt=111 ms
//    /NodeList/0/ApplicationList/2/$ns3::V4Ping/Rtt=112 ms
//    /NodeList/0/ApplicationList/2/$ns3::V4Ping/Rtt=111 ms
//
// The files output will consist of a trace file with bytes in queue and of a trace file for limits
// (when BQL is enabled) both for bottleneck NetDevice on n2, two files with upload and download
// goodput for flows configuration and a file with flow monitor stats.
//
// If you use an AQM as queue disc on the bottleneck netdevices, you can observe that the ping Rtt
// decrease. A further decrease can be observed when you enable BQL.
