-As @ref starting_components "explained in the introduction," any
-SimGrid study must entail the description of the platform on which you
-want to simulate your application. You have to describe **each element
-of your platform**, such as computing hosts, clusters, each disks,
-links, etc. You must also define the **routing on your platform**, ie
-which path is taken between two hosts. Finally, you may also describe
-an **experimental scenario**, with qualitative changes (e.g.,
-bandwidth changes representing an external load) and qualitative
-changes (representing how some elements fail and restart over time).
-
-You should really separate your application from the platform
-description, as it will ease your experimental campain afterward.
-Mixing them is seen as a really bad experimental practice. The easiest
-to enforce this split is to put the platform description in a XML
-file. Many example platforms are provided in the archive, and this
-page gives all needed details to write such files, as well as some
-hints and tricks about describing your platform.
-
-On the other side, XML is sometimes not expressive enough for some
-platforms, in particular large platforms exhibiting repetitive
-patterns that are not simply expressed in XML. In practice, many
-users end up generating their XML platform files from some sort of
-scripts. It is probably preferable to rewrite your XML @ref
-platform_lua "platform using the lua scripting language" instead.
-In the future, it should be possible to describe the platform directly
-in C++, but this is not possible yet.

As usual, SimGrid is a versatile framework, and you should find the
way of describing your platform that best fits your experimental
practice.
-@section pf_overview Describing the platform with XML
-
-Your platform description should follow the specification presented in
-the [simgrid.dtd](http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/simgrid/simgrid.dtd)
-DTD file. The same DTD is used for both the platform and deployment
-files.
-
-From time to time, this DTD evolves to introduce possibly
-backward-incompatible changes. That is why each platform desciption is
-enclosed within a @c platform tag, that have a @c version attribute.
-The current version is <b>4.1</b>. The @c simgrid_update_xml program can
-upgrade most of the past platform files to the recent formalism.

@section pf_first_example First Platform Example
Here is a very simple platform file, containing 3 resources (two hosts
@code{.xml}
<?xml version='1.0'?>
-<!DOCTYPE platform SYSTEM "http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/simgrid/simgrid.dtd">
+<!DOCTYPE platform SYSTEM "https://simgrid.org/simgrid.dtd">
<platform version="4.1">
<zone id="first zone" routing="Full">
<!-- the resources -->
</platform>
@endcode
-As we said, the englobing @ref pf_overview "<platform>" tag is
-used to specify the dtd version used for this file.
Then, every resource (specified with @ref pf_tag_host, @ref
pf_tag_link or others) must be located within a given **networking
@verbatim
<?xml version='1.0'?>
-<!DOCTYPE platform SYSTEM "http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/simgrid.dtd">
+<!DOCTYPE platform SYSTEM "https://simgrid.org/simgrid.dtd">
<platform version="4">
<config>
<prop id="maxmin/precision" value="0.000010" />
@verbatim
<?xml version='1.0'?>
-<!DOCTYPE platform SYSTEM "http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/simgrid.dtd">
+<!DOCTYPE platform SYSTEM "https://simgrid.org/simgrid.dtd">
<platform version="4">
<zone id="zone0" routing="Vivaldi">
That is for example what is commonly done when using peers (see Section @ref pf_peer).
