-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
-fluid model (and SimGrid uses fluid model unless you activate
-ns-3 or constant network mode) is the impact of the upper limit of
-the switch motherboard speed that will eventually be reached if you're
-using intensively your switch. So, the switch impact is similar to a
-link one. That's why we are used to describe a switch using a link tag
-(as a link is not an edge by a hyperedge, you can connect more than 2
-other links to it).
