Each actor is located on a simulated |API_s4u_Host|_. Each host is located
itself in a |API_s4u_NetZone|_, that knows the networking path between one
resource to another. Each NetZone is included in another one, forming

+a tree of NetZones which root zone contains the whole platform. The
+actors can also be located on a |API_s4U_VirtualMachine|_ that may
+restrict the activities it contains to a limited amount of cores.
+Virtual machines can also be migrated between hosts.
The :ref:`simgrid::s4u::this_actor <API_s4u_this_actor>` namespace
provides many helper functions to simplify the code of actors.

In TCP, since you establish connexions beforehand, the data starts to
flow as soon as the sender posts it, even if the receiver did not post

managed through the context. Provided that you never manipulate
objects of type Foo directly but always FooPtr references (which are

you use nor to free the memory of unused objects.
