If you want to represent an entity like a switch, you must use ``<link>`` (see section). Routers are used
to run some routing algorithm and determine routes (see Section \ref pf_routing for details).

-Transfers from one side to the other will interact similarly as
-TCP when ACK returning packets circulate on the other direction. More

In other words: The SHARED policy defines a physical limit for the bandwidth.
The FATPIPE mode defines a limit for each application,
with no upper total limit.
\remark
-Tip: By using the FATPIPE mode, you can model big backbones that
-won't affect performance (except latency).

\endverbatim
\note
-Even if the syntax is the same, the semantic of bandwidth and latency
-trace files differs from that of host availability files. For bandwidth and
-latency, the corresponding files do not
-express availability as a fraction of the available capacity but directly in
- bytes per seconds for the bandwidth and in seconds for the latency. This is
-because most tools allowing to capture traces on real platforms (such as NWS)
- express their results this way.

-This section describes the storage management under SimGrid ; nowadays
-it's only usable with MSG. It relies basically on linux-like concepts.
-You also may want to have a look to its corresponding section in \ref
