/*
 * This is a basic example that compares CoDel and PfifoFast queues using a simple, single-flow
 * topology:
 *
 * source -------------------------- router ------------------------ sink
 *          100 Mb/s, 0.1 ms       pfifofast       5 Mb/s, 5ms
 *                                 or codel        bottleneck
 *
 * The source generates traffic across the network using BulkSendApplication.
 * The default TCP version in ns-3, TcpNewReno, is used as the transport-layer protocol.
 * Packets transmitted during a simulation run are captured into a .pcap file, and
 * congestion window values are also traced.
