The LTE/EPC model has been enhanced with new features:
* SGW, PGW and MME are full nodes.
* There are P2P links between core network nodes.
* New S5 interface between SGW and PGW nodes based on GTPv2-C protocol.
* Allow simulations with multiple SGWs and PGWs.
LTE eNB RRC is extended to support:
* S1 signalling with the core network is initiated after the
RRC connection establishment procedure is finished.
* New ATTACH_REQUEST state to wait for finalization of the S1
signalling with the core network.
* New InitialContextSetupRequest primitive of the S1 SAP that is
received by the eNB RRC when the S1 signalling from the core network
is finished.

Linux pfifo_fast is the default priority queue enabled on Linux
systems. Packets are enqueued in three FIFO droptail queues according
to three priority bands based on their Type of Service bits or DSCP bits.
QueueDisc is a base class providing the interface and implementing
the operations common to all the queueing disciplines. Child classes
need to implement the methods used to enqueue a packet (DoEnqueue),
dequeue a single packet (DoDequeue), get a copy of the next packet
to extract (DoPeek), plus methods to classify enqueued packets in
case they manage multiple queues internally.
