// This program is designed to observe long-running TCP congestion control
// behavior over a configurable bottleneck link.  The program is also
// instrumented to check progam data against validated results, when
// the validation option is enabled.
//
// ---> downstream (primary data transfer from servers to clients)
// <--- upstream (return acks and ICMP echo response)
//
//              ----   bottleneck link    ----
//  servers ---| WR |--------------------| LR |--- clients
//              ----                      ----
//  ns-3 node IDs:
//  nodes 0-2    3                         4        5-7
//
// - The box WR is notionally a WAN router, aggregating all server links
// - The box LR is notionally a LAN router, aggregating all client links
// - Three servers are connected to WR, three clients are connected to LR
//
// clients and servers are configured for ICMP measurements and TCP throughput
// and latency measurements in the downstream direction
//
// All link rates are enforced by a point-to-point (P2P) ns-3 model with full
// duplex operation.  Dynamic queue limits
// (BQL) are enabled to allow for queueing to occur at the priority queue layer;
// the notional P2P hardware device queue is limited to three packets.
//
// One-way link delays and link rates
// -----------------------------------
// (1) server to WR links, 1000 Mbps, 1us delay
// (2) bottleneck link:  configurable rate, configurable delay
// (3) client to LR links, 1000 Mbps, 1us delay
//
// By default, ns-3 FQ-CoDel model is installed on all interfaces, but
// the bottleneck queue uses CoDel by default and is configurable.
//
// The ns-3 FQ-CoDel model uses ns-3 defaults:
// - 100ms interval
// - 5ms target
// - drop batch size of 64 packets
// - minbytes of 1500
//
// Default simulation time is 70 sec.  For single flow experiments, the flow is
// started at simulation time 5 sec; if a second flow is used, it starts
// at 15 sec.
//
// ping frequency is set at 100ms.
//
// A command-line option to enable a step-threshold CE threshold
// from the CoDel queue model is provided.
//
// Measure:
//  - ping RTT
//  - TCP RTT estimate
//  - TCP throughput
//
// IPv4 addressing
// ----------------------------
// pingServer       10.1.1.2 (ping source)
// firstServer      10.1.2.2 (data sender)
