19 // This ns-3 example demonstrates the use of helper functions to ease
20 // the construction of simulation scenarios.
21 //
22 // The simulation topology consists of a mixed wired and wireless
23 // scenario in which a hierarchical mobility model is used.
24 //
25 // The simulation layout consists of N backbone routers interconnected
26 // by an ad hoc wifi network.
27 // Each backbone router also has a local 802.11 network and is connected
28 // to a local LAN. An additional set of (K-1) nodes are connected to
29 // this backbone. Finally, a local LAN is connected to each router
30 // on the backbone, with L-1 additional hosts.
31 //
32 // The nodes are populated with TCP/IP stacks, and OLSR unicast routing
33 // on the backbone. An example UDP transfer is shown. The simulator
34 // be configured to output tcpdumps or traces from different nodes.
35 //
