 *
 * This test is equivalent to simple-distributed with the addition of
 * initialization of MPI by user code (this script) and providing
 * a communicator to ns-3.  The ns-3 communicator is smaller than
 * MPI Comm World as might be the case if ns-3 is run in parallel
 * with another simulator.
 *
 * TestDistributed creates a dumbbell topology and logically splits it in
 * half.  The left half is placed on logical processor 0 and the right half
 * is placed on logical processor 1.
 *

 *                  RANK 0    RANK 1
 *                 ------- | -------

 *
 *
 * OnOff clients are placed on each left leaf node. Each right leaf node
 * is a packet sink for a left leaf node.  As a packet travels from one
 * logical processor to another (the link between n4 and n5), MPI messages
 * are passed containing the serialized packet. The message is then
 * deserialized into a new packet and sent on as normal.
 *
 * One packet is sent from each left leaf node.  The packet sinks on the
 * right leaf nodes output logging information when they receive the packet.
