My kvetch is that they are using a 100 buffers, (come on, use 1000,
FEEL the bloat)

... and the second part of the experiment uses 20 buffers, and I doubt
that the structure of it will show the side-effects what such a size
can cause in things such as tcp admission control. Perhaps that's
handled in a later module.

Either way it looks like a nice class, and a quick glance over mininet
makes me want to run screaming from ns2 as fast as possible in it's
general direction.
