 *
 * This example demonstrates the use of Ns2MobilityHelper class to work with mobility.
 *
 * Detailed example description.
 *
 *  - intended usage: this should be used in order to load ns2 movement trace files into ns3.
 *  - behavior:
 *      - Ns2MobilityHelper object is created, associated to the specified trace file.
 *      - A log file is created, using the log file name argument.
 *      - A node container is created with the number of nodes specified in the command line.  For
 * the default ns-2 trace, specify the value 2 for this argument.
 *      - the program calls the Install() method of Ns2MobilityHelper to set mobility to nodes. At
 * this moment, the file is read line by line, and the movement is scheduled in the simulator.
 *      - A callback is configured, so each time a node changes its course a log message is printed.
 *  - expected output: example prints out messages generated by each read line from the ns2 movement
 * trace file. For each line, it shows if the line is correct, or of it has errors and in this case
 * it will be ignored.
 *
 * Usage of ns2-mobility-trace:
 *
 *  ./ns3 run "ns2-mobility-trace \
 *        --traceFile=src/mobility/examples/default.ns_movements
 *        --nodeNum=2  --duration=100.0 --logFile=ns2-mobility-trace.log"
 *
 *  NOTE: ns2-traces-file could be an absolute or relative path. You could use the file
 * default.ns_movements included in the same directory as the example file. NOTE 2: Number of nodes
 * present in the trace file must match with the command line argument. Note that you must know it
 * before to be able to load it. NOTE 3: Duration must be a positive number and should match the
 * trace file. Note that you must know it before to be able to load it.
