* Retrieving the bandwidth is usually done by active measurment: one send
* a packet of known size, time how long it needs to go back and forth,
* buf_size=32k, msg_size=16k and exp_size=64k. That means that the
* socket will be prepared to accept 32k in its buffer and then four
* messages of 16k will be sent (so that the total amount of data equals
- * 64k). Of course, you can use other values if you want to.

*
- * \todo Cleanup and implement the link saturation stuff.
+ * You sometimes want to try saturating some link during the network
+ * related experiments (at least, we did ;). This also can turn quite
+ * untrivial to do, unless you use this great module. You can either ask
+ * for the saturation between the current host and a distant one with
+ * amok_bw_saturate_begin() or between two distant hosts with
+ * amok_bw_saturate_start(). In any case, remember that gras actors
+ * (processes) are not interruptible. It means that an actor you
+ * instructed to participate to a link saturation experiment will not do
+ * anything else until it is to its end (either because the asked duration
+ * was done or because someone used amok_bw_saturate_stop() on the emitter
+ * end of the experiment).
+ *
+ * The following figure depicts the used protocol. Note that any
+ * handshaking messages internal messages are omitted for sake of
+ * simplicity. In this example, the experiment ends before the planned
+ * experiment duration is over because one host use the
+ * amok_bw_saturate_stop() function, but things are not really different
+ * if the experiment stops alone. Also, it is not mandatory that the host
+ * calling amok_bw_saturate_stop() is the same than the one which called
+ * amok_bw_saturate_start(), despite what is depicted here.
