+/**
+ * This scenario simulates a very simple network topology using mpi:
+ *
+ *
+ *      +----------+     1 Mbps     +----------+
+ *      | consumer | <------------> | producer |
+ *      +----------+      10ms      +----------+
+ *
+ *
+ * Consumer requests data from producer with frequency 10 interests per second
+ * (interests contain constantly increasing sequence number).
+ *
+ * For every received interest, producer replies with a data packet, containing
+ * 1024 bytes of virtual payload.
+ *
+ * To run scenario and see what is happening, use the following command:
+ *
+ *     NS_LOG=ndn.Consumer:ndn.Producer mpirun -np 2 ./waf --run=ndn-simple-mpi
+ *
+ * The default parallel synchronization strategy implemented in the
+ * DistributedSimulatorImpl class is based on a globally synchronized algorithm
+ * using an MPI collective operation to synchronize simulation time across all LPs.
+ * A second synchronization strategy based on local communication and null messages
+ * is implemented in the NullMessageSimulatorImpl class, For the null message strategy
+ * the global all to all gather is not required; LPs only need to communication with
+ * LPs that have shared point-to-point links. The algorithm to use is controlled by
+ * which the ns-3 global value SimulatorImplementationType.
+ *
+ * The strategy can be selected according to the value of nullmsg. If nullmsg is true,
+ * then the local communication strategy is selected. If nullmsg is false, then the
+ * globally synchronized strategy is selected. This parameter can be passed either
+ * as a command line argument or by directly modifying the simulation scenario.
