/**
 * This scenario simulates a load balancer topology (using topology reader module)
 *
 *               ( ) ----- ( ) ---- (consumer)
 *                |
 *        ------ ( ) -----
 *        |               |
 *    (producer) ---- (producer)
 *
 * All links are 1Mbps with propagation 10ms delay.
 *
 * FIB is populated using NdnGlobalRoutingHelper.
 *
 * Consumer requests data from the two producers with frequency 10 interests per
 * second (interests contain constantly increasing sequence number).
 *
 * For every received interest, a load balancing operation is performed
 * (based on a custom forwarding strategy) and the selected 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 ./waf --run=ndn-load-balancer
