/**
 * @ingroup lte
 * @brief Create an EPC network with PointToPoint links between the core network nodes.
 *
 * This Helper will create an EPC network topology comprising of
 * three nodes: SGW, PGW and MME.
 * The X2-U, X2-C, S5 and S11 interfaces are realized over PointToPoint links.
 *
 * The S1 interface is not created. So, no backhaul network is built.
 * You have to build your own backhaul network in the simulation program.
 * Or you can use PointToPointEpcHelper or CsmaEpcHelper
 * (instead of this NoBackhaulEpcHelper) to use reference backhaul networks.
