Any simulation is by necessity an abstraction of details not
considered important. ns was begun to investigate tcp algorithms,
rather than engineering numbers; a computer science approach rather
than engineering performance optimisation.
Most engineers complaining about the lack of the simulation detail
wouldn't know how to write the simulator in the first place, never
mind fix it...

I suppose people will start complaining about IPSec and accurate
header compression overhead next.
