/** \addtogroup AMOK_bw
* \brief Test the bandwidth between two nodes
*
- * This module allows you to retrieve the bandwidth between to arbitrary hosts,
- * provided that they run some GRAS process which initialized this module.
- *
- * The API is very simple. Use amok_bw_test() to get the BW between the local host
- * and the specified peer, or amok_bw_request() to get the BW between two remote
- * hosts. The elapsed time, as long as the achieved bandwidth is returned in the
- * last arguments of the functions.
- *
- * All sizes are in kilo bytes.
+ * This module allows you to retrieve the bandwidth between to arbitrary hosts
+ * and saturating the links leading to them, provided that they run some GRAS
+ * process which initialized this module.
+ *
+ * \htmlonly <h3>Bandwidth measurement</h3>\endhtmlonly
+ *
+ * Retrieving the bandwidth is usually done by active measurment: one send
+ * a packet of known size, time how long it needs to go back and forth,
+ * and you get the bandwidth in Kb/s available on the wire.
+ *
+ * This is not as easy as it first seems to do so in GRAS. The first issue
+ * is that GRAS messages can get buffered, or the receiver cannot be
+ * waiting for the message when it arrives. This results in extra delays
+ * impacting the measurement quality. You thus have to setup a rendez-vous
+ * protocol. The second issue is that GRAS message do have an header, so
+ * figuring out their size is not trivial. Moreover, they get converted
+ * when the sender and receiver processor architecture are different,
+ * inducing extra delays. For this, GRAS provide the so-called measurement
+ * sockets. On them, you can send raw data which is not converted (see
+ * \ref GRAS_sock_meas).
*
- * \todo Cleanup and implement the link saturation stuff.
+ * Solving all these problems is quite error prone and anoying, so we
+ * implemented this in the current module so that you don't have to do it
+ * yourself. The API is very simple. Use amok_bw_test() to get the BW
+ * between the local host and the specified peer, or amok_bw_request() to
+ * get the BW between two remote hosts. The elapsed time, as long as the
+ * achieved bandwidth is returned in the last arguments of the functions.
+ *
+ * All sizes are in bytes. The \a buf_size is the size of the buffer
+ * (this is a socket parameter set automatically). The \a exp_size is the
+ * amount of data to send during an experiment. \a msg_size is the size
+ * of each message sent. These values allow you to study phenomenon such
+ * as TCP slow start (which are not correctly modelized by \ref SURF_API,
+ * yet). They are mimicked from the NWS API, and default values could be
+ * buf_size=32k, msg_size=16k and exp_size=64k. That means that the
+ * socket will be prepared to accept 32k in its buffer and then four
+ * messages of 16k will be sent (so that the total amount of data equals
+ * 64k). Of course, you can use other values if you want to.

+ * <h3>Link saturation</h3>
+ * \endhtmlonly
+ *
+ * You sometimes want to try saturating some link during the network
+ * related experiments (at least, we did ;). This also can turn quite
+ * untrivial to do, unless you use this great module. You can either ask
+ * for the saturation between the current host and a distant one with
+ * amok_bw_saturate_begin() or between two distant hosts with
+ * amok_bw_saturate_start(). In any case, remember that gras actors
+ * (processes) are not interruptible. It means that an actor you
+ * instructed to participate to a link saturation experiment will not do
+ * anything else until it is to its end (either because the asked duration
+ * was done or because someone used amok_bw_saturate_stop() on the emitter
+ * end of the experiment).
+ *
+ * The following figure depicts the used protocol. Note that any
+ * handshaking messages internal messages are omitted for sake of
+ * simplicity. In this example, the experiment ends before the planned
+ * experiment duration is over because one host use the
+ * amok_bw_saturate_stop() function, but things are not really different
+ * if the experiment stops alone. Also, it is not mandatory that the host
+ * calling amok_bw_saturate_stop() is the same than the one which called
+ * amok_bw_saturate_start(), despite what is depicted here.
