The LAN test suite (test-suite-lan.tcl) performs the following tests:    - lan-routing-flat    - lan-routing-hier - these two tests are designed to validate LANs      under flat and hierarchical routing and specifically the      functionality of the lanRouter object.  The topology is the same      in both cases: 	       0	  2----------5	       |	  |	    ---+----+-----+-- LAN virtual node (3)	            |      4-------------1                  with a TCP sender attached to node 4 and a TCP receiver at node      5.  Here packets are not replicated at the LAN, because they are      unicast and replication is costly.  Packets flow from node 4 to      1, then the lanRouter object determines the next hop of the      packet (node 2) and packets with unicast MAC address of node 2      are put on the shared medium (channel).  Since the packet has a      unicast MAC address of 2, MAC classifier delivers it to 2 only,      at which point it is forwarded to 5.  TCP acknowledgements are      delivered in a similar fashion in reverse direction.      WARNING: the current nam animation (as of 11/23/98) shows that      all packets (including unicast) are replicated and delivered to      every node on the LAN.  This is misleading, because in the      unicast case packets are delivered only to the next hop node.    - lan-broadcast: tests the broadcast behavior of mac classifier.      		4-------0	 2			|	| \      (vLAN node 3)   --+-------+  5			        | /				 1      A CBR agent at node 4 is sending unicast packets to a receiver      at node 5.  But in this case the MAC classifier is explicitly      running in the broadcast mode and even though the IP      consequently the MAC address is unicast, packets are fanned out      and delivered both to 2 and to 1.  Both 2 and 1 receive the      packet, classify it as addressed to 5 and forward accordingly.      Thus the receiver at 5 receives two copies of the same packet.    - lan-abstract: tests the behavior of the abstract lan implemented      using a DropTail queue as the contention mechanism	       0	  2	       |	  |	    ---+----+-----+-- abstract LAN node (4)	       |	  |	       1          3            A TCP senders are attached to node 0 and node 2 with TCP receivers      present at node 1 and node 3 respectively. Packets are queued      and sent on the LAN on a FIFO basis. ACK and packets share      the same queue. Default queue size of 50 packets.        - lan-mactrace: validates the behavior of MAC level collision traces       on a LAN                      0	  2	       |	  |	    ---+----+-----+-- vLAN node (4)	       |	  |	       1          3       A CBR agent is attached to node 0 and node 2 which sends packets at       a regular interval of 0.5 seconds to node 1 and mode 3 respectively.        Both the agents start at the same time and hence always experience a       collision. This is recored as a 'c' in the trace files.        After a collision, the source double the time it defers, before it        attempts to transfer a packet again ie: binary exponential backoff.
