// This simple example shows how to use TrafficControlHelper to install a
// QueueDisc on a device.
//
// The default QueueDisc is a pfifo_fast with a capacity of 1000 packets (as in
// Linux). However, in this example, we install a RedQueueDisc with a capacity
// of 10000 packets.
//
// Network topology
//
//       10.1.1.0
// n0 -------------- n1
//    point-to-point
//
// The output will consist of all the traced changes in the length of the RED
// internal queue and in the length of the netdevice queue:
//
//    DevicePacketsInQueue 0 to 1
//    TcPacketsInQueue 7 to 8
//    TcPacketsInQueue 8 to 9
//    DevicePacketsInQueue 1 to 0
//    TcPacketsInQueue 9 to 8
//
// plus some statistics collected at the network layer (by the flow monitor)
// and the application layer. Finally, the number of packets dropped by the
// queuing discipline, the number of packets dropped by the netdevice and
// the number of packets requeued by the queuing discipline are reported.
//
// If the size of the DropTail queue of the netdevice were increased from 1
// to a large number (e.g. 1000), one would observe that the number of dropped
// packets goes to zero, but the latency grows in an uncontrolled manner. This
// is the so-called bufferbloat problem, and illustrates the importance of
// having a small device queue, so that the standing queues build in the traffic
// control layer where they can be managed by advanced queue discs rather than
// in the device layer.
