    A flog... Picking a simulator or testing method is often a complex
    question. Aaron Falk and I offer up some things to think about when
    picking a software simulator in the following paper...

        Mark Allman, Aaron Falk. On the Effective Evaluation of TCP. ACM
        Computer Communication Review, 29(5), October 1999.

    Enjoy!
