//
//  1) You need to decide on a physical device on your real system, and either
//     overwrite the hard-configured device name below (eth0) or pass this
//     device name in as a command-line argument
//  1') If you run emulation in dpdk mode, use device address (eg. 0000:00.1f.6)
//      as device name. This address can be obtained by running `lspci`
//  2) The host device must be set to promiscuous mode
//     (e.g. "sudo ip link set eth0 promisc on")
//  2') If you run emulation in netmap or dpdk mode, you need before to load
//      the netmap.ko or dpdk modules. The user is in charge to configure and
//      build netmap/dpdk separately.
//  3) Be aware that ns-3 will generate a fake mac address, and that in
//     some enterprise networks, this may be considered bad form to be
//     sending packets out of your device with "unauthorized" mac addresses
//  4) You will need to assign an IP address to the ns-3 simulation node that
//     is consistent with the subnet that is active on the host device's link.
//     That is, you will have to assign an IP address to the ns-3 node as if
//     it were on your real subnet.  Search for "Ipv4Address localIp" and
//     replace the string "1.2.3.4" with a valid IP address.
//  5) You will need to configure a default route in the ns-3 node to tell it
//     how to get off of your subnet. One thing you could do is a
//     'netstat -rn' command and find the IP address of the default gateway
//     on your host.  Search for "Ipv4Address gateway" and replace the string
//     "1.2.3.4" string with the gateway IP address.
//  6) Give root suid to the raw or netmap socket creator binary.
//     If the --enable-sudo option was used to configure ns-3 with ns3, then the following
//     step will not be necessary.
//
//     $ sudo chown root.root build/src/fd-net-device/ns3-dev-raw-sock-creator
//     $ sudo chmod 4755 build/src/fd-net-device/ns3-dev-raw-sock-creator
//
//     or (if you run emulation in netmap mode):
//     $ sudo chown root.root build/src/fd-net-device/ns3-dev-netmap-device-creator
//     $ sudo chmod 4755 build/src/fd-net-device/ns3-dev-netmap-device-creator
//  6') If you run emulation in dpdk mode, you will need to run example as root.
