/**
* \mainpage An Introduction to ns-3
*
* The ns-3 library is split across multiple modules:
* - core: located in src/core and contains a number of facilities which
* do not depend on any other module. Some of these facilities are
* OS-dependent.
* - simulator: located in src/simulator and contains event scheduling
* facilities.
* - common: located in src/common and contains facilities specific
* to network simulations but shared by pretty much every model
* of a network component.
* - node: located in src/node. Contains an ipv4/udp model.
* - devices: located in src/devices. Contains a set of MAC-level models
*
* The "core" module contains:
* - a Functor class: ns3::Callback
* - an os-independent interface to get access to the elapsed wall clock time: ns3::SystemWallClockMs
* - a class to register regression tests with the test manager: ns3::Test and ns3::TestManager
* - debugging facilities: \ref debugging, \ref assert, \ref error
* - \ref randomvariable
* - a class to handle automatic deletion of multiple sets of objects of different types:
* ns3::ObjectContainer
*
* The "simulator" module contains:
* - a time management class to hold a time and convert between various time units: ns3::Time
* - a scheduler base class used to implement new simulation event schedulers:
* ns3::Scheduler and ns3::SchedulerFactory
* - a simulator class used to create, schedule and cancel events: ns3::Simulator
*
* The "common" module contains:
* - a packet class to create and manipulate simulation packets: ns3::Packet, ns3::Header,
* and ns3::Trailer
* - a set of low-level trace facilities: \ref lowleveltracing
*
* The "node" module contains:
* - a ns3::Node base class and an ns3::InternetNode implementation which model
* network nodes.
* - a set of models contained in InternetNode: ns3::Ipv4, ns3::Udp, ns3::L3Demux,
* ns3::L3Protocol, ns3::Ipv4L4Demux, ns3::Ipv4L4Protocol, ns3::Ipv4Interface,
* ns3::DatagramSocket
* - models which abstract the MAC-layer from the IP layer protocols:
* ns3::NetDevice and ns3::Channel.
* - an Arp model if the underlying NetDevice object needs it: ns3::ArpIpv4Interface
* - a set of traffic generation models: ns3::OnOffApplication
*
* The "devices" module contains:
* - a PointToPoint MAC device: ns3::PointToPointNetDevice, ns3::PointToPointChannel,
* and ns3::PointToPointTopology.
