//
// The Wifi device on node zero is:  10.1.1.1
// The Wifi device on node one is:   10.1.1.2
// The Wifi device on node two is:   10.1.1.3
// The Wifi device on node three is: 10.1.1.4
// The P2P device on node three is:  10.1.2.1
// The P2P device on node four is:   10.1.2.2
// The CSMA device on node four is:  10.1.3.1
// The CSMA device on node five is:  10.1.3.2
// The CSMA device on node six is:   10.1.3.3
// The CSMA device on node seven is: 10.1.3.4
//
// Some simple things to do:
//
// 1) Ping one of the simulated nodes on the left side of the topology.
//
//    ./ns3 run tap-wifi-dumbbell&
//    ping 10.1.1.3
//
// 2) Configure a route in the linux host and ping once of the nodes on the
//    right, across the point-to-point link.  You will see relatively large
//    delays due to CBR background traffic on the point-to-point (see next
//    item).
//
//    ./ns3 run tap-wifi-dumbbell&
//    sudo route add -net 10.1.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev thetap gw 10.1.1.2
//    ping 10.1.3.4
//
//    Take a look at the pcap traces and note that the timing reflects the
//    addition of the significant delay and low bandwidth configured on the
//    point-to-point link along with the high traffic.
//
// 3) Fiddle with the background CBR traffic across the point-to-point
//    link and watch the ping timing change.  The OnOffApplication "DataRate"
//    attribute defaults to 500kb/s and the "PacketSize" Attribute defaults
//    to 512.  The point-to-point "DataRate" is set to 512kb/s in the script,
//    so in the default case, the link is pretty full.  This should be
//    reflected in large delays seen by ping.  You can crank down the CBR
//    traffic data rate and watch the ping timing change dramatically.
//
//    ./ns3 run "tap-wifi-dumbbell --ns3::OnOffApplication::DataRate=100kb/s"&
//    sudo route add -net 10.1.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev thetap gw 10.1.1.2
//    ping 10.1.3.4
//
// 4) Try to run this in UseBridge mode.  This allows you to bridge an ns-3
//    simulation to an existing pre-configured bridge.  This uses tap devices
//    just for illustration, you can create your own bridge if you want.
//
//    sudo tunctl -t mytap1
//    sudo ifconfig mytap1 0.0.0.0 promisc up
//    sudo tunctl -t mytap2
//    sudo ifconfig mytap2 0.0.0.0 promisc up
//    sudo brctl addbr mybridge
//    sudo brctl addif mybridge mytap1
//    sudo brctl addif mybridge mytap2
//    sudo ifconfig mybridge 10.1.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
//    ./ns3 run "tap-wifi-dumbbell --mode=UseBridge --tapName=mytap2"&
//    ping 10.1.1.3
