6 Adds a flow monitoring framework module to NS-3. With only a few
7 lines of code a set of objects are created that will monitor IPv4
8 flows that are being simulated. At the end of the simulation, a few
9 simple methods allow retrieval of the collected statistical data on
10 the flows. No prior configuration of any list of flows to be
11 monitored is necessary, as the flow monitor automatically detects
14 This module is ideal for collecting results especially in Python based
15 simulations, although it is also very useful for C++ simulations,
16 since it avoids the need to create large disk based trace files, and
17 already collects a large amount of useful information in a small

28 TODO: write this section.
