*
* \section internetStackTracingModel Tracing in the Internet Stack
*
* The internet stack provides a number of trace sources in its various
* protocol implementations. These trace sources can be hooked using your own
* custom trace code, or you can use our helper functions in some cases to
* arrange for tracing to be enabled.
*
* \subsection internetStackArpTracingModel Tracing in ARP
*
* ARP provides two trace hooks, one in the cache, and one in the layer three
* protocol. The trace accessor in the cache is given the name "Drop." When
* a packet is transmitted over an interface that requires ARP, it is first
* queued for transmission in the ARP cache until the required MAC address is
* resolved. There are a number of retries that may be done trying to get the
* address, and if the maximum retry count is exceeded the packet in question
* is dropped by ARP. The single trace hook in the ARP cache is called,
*
* - If an outbound packet is placed in the ARP cache pending address resolution
* and no resolution can be made within the maximum retry count, the outbound
* packet is dropped and this trace is fired;
*
* A second trace hook lives in the ARP L3 protocol (also named "Drop") and may
* be called for a number of reasons.
*
* - If an ARP reply is received for an entry that is not waiting for a reply,
* the ARP reply packet is dropped and this trace is fired;
* - If an ARP reply is received for a non-existant entry, the ARP reply packet
* is dropped and this trace is fired;
* - If an ARP cache entry is in the DEAD state (has timed out) and an ARP reply
* packet is received, the reply packet is dropped and this trace is fired.
* - Each ARP cache entry has a queue of pending packets. If the size of the
* queue is exceeded, the outbound packet is dropped and this trace is fired.
*
* \subsection internetStackIpv4TracingModel Tracing in IPv4
*
* The IPv4 layer three protocol provides three trace hooks. These are the
* "Tx" (ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::m_txTrace), "Rx" (ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::m_rxTrace)
* and "Drop" (ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::m_dropTrace) trace sources.
*
* The "Tx" trace is fired in a number of situations, all of which indicate that
* a given packet is about to be sent down to a given ns3::Ipv4Interface.
*
* - In the case of a packet destined for the broadcast address, the
* Ipv4InterfaceList is iterated and for every interface that is up and can
* fragment the packet or has a large enough MTU to transmit the packet,
* the trace is hit. See ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::Send.
*
* - In the case of a packet that needs routing, the "Tx" trace may be fired
* just before a packet is sent to the interface appropriate to the default
* gateway. See ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::SendRealOut.
*
* - Also in the case of a packet that needs routing, the "Tx" trace may be
* fired just before a packet is sent to the outgoing interface appropriate
* to the discovered route. See ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::SendRealOut.
*
* The "Rx" trace is fired when a packet is passed from the device up to the
* ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::Receive function.
*
* - In the receive function, the Ipv4InterfaceList is iterated, and if the
* Ipv4Interface corresponding to the receiving device is fount to be in the
* UP state, the trace is fired.
*
* The "Drop" trace is fired in any case where the packet is dropped (in both
* the transmit and receive paths).
*
* - In the ns3::Ipv4Interface::Receive function, the packet is dropped and the
* drop trace is hit if the interface corresponding to the receiving device
* is in the DOWN state.
*
* - Also in the ns3::Ipv4Interface::Receive function, the packet is dropped and
* the drop trace is hit if the checksum is found to be bad.
*
* - In ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::Send, an outgoing packet bound for the broadcast
* address is dropped and the "Drop" trace is fired if the "don't fragement"
* bit is set and fragmentation is available and required.
*
* - Also in ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::Send, an outgoing packet destined for the
* broadcast address is dropped and the "Drop" trace is hit if fragmentation
* is not available and is required (MTU < packet size).
*
* - In the case of a broadcast address, an outgoing packet is cloned for each
* outgoing interface. If any of the interfaces is in the DOWN state, the
* "Drop" trace event fires with a reference to the copied packet.
*
* - In the case of a packet requiring a route, an outgoing packet is dropped
* and the "Drop" trace event fires if no route to the remote host is found.
*
* - In ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::SendRealOut, an outgoing packet being routed
* is dropped and the "Drop" trace is fired if the "don't fragement" bit is
* set and fragmentation is available and required.
*
* - Also in ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::SendRealOut, an outgoing packet being routed
* is dropped and the "Drop" trace is hit if fragmentation is not available
* and is required (MTU < packet size).
*
* - An outgoing packet being routed is dropped and the "Drop" trace event fires
* if the required Ipv4Interface is in the DOWN state.
*
* - If a packet is being forwarded, and the TTL is exceeded (see
* ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::DoForward), the packet is dropped and the "Drop" trace
* event is fired.
*
* \subsection internetStackNs3TCPTracingModel Tracing in ns-3 TCP
*
* There is currently one trace source in the ns-3 TCP implementation named
* "CongestionWindow" (see ns3::TcpSocketImpl::m_cWnd). This is set in a number
* of places (see file tcp-socket-impl.cc) whenever the value of the congestion
* window is changed.
*
* \subsection internetStackNscTCPTracingModel Tracing in NSC TCP
*
* There is currently one trace source in the Network Simulation Cradle TCP
* implementation named "CongestionWindow" (see ns3::NscTcpSocketImpl::m_cWnd).
* This is set in a number of places (see file nsc-tcp-socket-impl.cc) when
* the value of the cogestion window is initially set. Note that this is not
* instrumented from the underlying TCP implementaion.
*
* \subsection internetStackNs3UdpTracingModel Tracing in ns-3 UDP
*
* There is currently one trace source in the ns-3 UDP implementation named
* "Drop" (see ns3::UdpSocketImpl::m_dropTrace). This is set when a packet
* is received in ns3::UdpSocketImpl::ForwardUp and the receive buffer cannot
* accomodate the encapsulated data.
