 * \ingroup mpi
 *
 * \brief Pure virtual base class for the interface between ns-3 and
 * the parallel communication layer being used.
 *
 * This class is implemented for each of the parallel versions of
 * SimulatorImpl to manage communication between process (ranks).
 *
 * This interface is called through the singleton MpiInterface class.
 * MpiInterface has the same API as ParallelCommunicationInterface but
 * being a singleton uses static methods to delegate to methods
 * defined in classes that implement the
 * ParallelCommunicationInterface.  For example, SendPacket is likely
 * to be specialized for a specific parallel SimulatorImpl.
