// Network topology
//
//       n0 ---------- n1 ---------- n2 ---------- n3
//            10 Mbps       1 Mbps        10 Mbps
//             1 ms         10 ms          1 ms
//
// - TCP flow from n0 to n3 using BulkSendApplication.
// - The following simulation output is stored in results/ in ns-3 top-level directory:
//   - cwnd traces are stored in cwndTraces folder
//   - queue length statistics are stored in queue-size.dat file
//   - pcaps are stored in pcap folder
//   - queueTraces folder contain the drop statistics at queue
//   - queueStats.txt file contains the queue stats and config.txt file contains
//     the simulation configuration.
// - The cwnd and queue length traces obtained from this example were tested against
//   the respective traces obtained from Linux Reno by using ns-3 Direct Code Execution.
//   See internet/doc/tcp.rst for more details.
