ns-3-flowmon

============

=== What is it ===

Adds a flow monitoring framework module to NS-3.  With only a few

lines of code a set of objects are created that will monitor IPv4

flows that are being simulated.  At the end of the simulation, a few

simple methods allow retrieval of the collected statistical data on

the flows.  No prior configuration of any list of flows to be

monitored is necessary, as the flow monitor automatically detects

flows.

This module is ideal for collecting results especially in Python based

simulations, although it is also very useful for C++ simulations,

since it avoids the need to create large disk based trace files, and

already collects a large amount of useful information in a small

amount of space.

Note: this branch is based on http://code.nsnam.org/gjc/ns-3-pyviz/
