-\section pf_hints Hints and tips, or how to write a platform efficiently
+\section pf_hints Hints, tips and frequently requested features
Now you should know at least the syntax and be able to create a
platform by your own. However, after having ourselves wrote some platforms, there
\li <b>Cluster</b>: Cluster routing, specific to cluster tag, should
not be used.
-\subsection pf_switch How to describe a switch given that is no switch tag?
+\subsection pf_switch I want to describe a switch but there is no switch tag!
Actually we did not include switch tag, ok. But when you're trying to
simulate a switch, the only major impact it has when you're using
(as a link is not an edge by a hyperedge, you can connect more than 2
other links to it).
-\subsection pf_multicabinets How to model multi-cabinets clusters?
+\subsection pf_multicabinets I want to describe multi-cabinets clusters!
You have several possibilities, as usual when modeling things. If your
cabinets are homogeneous and the intercabinet network negligible for
<cluster> per cabinet and interconnect them together. This is
what we did in the G5K example platform for the Graphen cluster.
-\subsection pf_platform_multipath How to express multipath routing in platform files?
+\subsection pf_platform_multipath I want to express multipath routing in platform files!
It is unfortunately impossible to express the fact that there is more
than one routing path between two given hosts. Let's consider the
