//
// To use this example:
//  1) ns-3 will create the TAP device for you in the host machine.
//     For this you need to provide the network address to allocate IP addresses
//     for the TAP device and the ns-3 FdNetDevice.
//
//  2) Take into consideration that this experiment requires the host to be able
//     to forward the traffic generated by the simulation to the Internet.
//     So for Linux systems, make sure to configure:
//     # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
//
//     Also enable natting so the traffic sent on the Internet are able to 
//     reach back the TAP. 
//     - TAP-network-address is the same as 'tapNetwork'
//     - net-device-ip is be the IP address of the network device connected to the internet
//     # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s <TAP-network-addres>/24 -j SNAT --to-source <net-device-ip>
//
//  3) Before running the example make sure that the tap creator binary has root suid.
//     If the --enable-sudo option was used to configure ns-3 with waf, then the following
//     step will not be necessary.
//
//     # chown root.root build/src/fd-net-device/ns3-dev-tap-device-creator
//     # sudo chmod 4755 build/src/fd-net-device/ns3-dev-tap-device-creator
