// This test suite performs regression tests on the ns-3 Ping application.
//
// A simple topology is used:
//
// Node 0               Node 1
//   +----SimpleChannel---+
//
// - the SimpleChannel implements a one-way delay of 10 ms
// - each node has a SimpleNetDevice with a DataRate of 1 Gb/s
// - a ReceiveErrorModel can be configured to force packet drops
//
// The following are described in more detail below, inline with the test cases.
// Most tests listed below will test both IPv4 and IPv6 operation.
//
// 1. Unlimited pings, no losses, StopApplication () with no packets in flight
// 2. Unlimited pings, no losses, StopApplication () with 1 packet in flight
// 3. Test for operation of count attribute and exit time after all pings were received
// 4. Test the operation of the interval attribute
// 5. Test for behavior of pinging an unreachable host when the
//    network does not send an ICMP unreachable message.
// 6. Test pinging to IPv4 broadcast address and IPv6 all nodes multicast address
// 7. Test behavior of first reply lost in a count-limited configuration
// 8. Test behavior of second reply lost in a count-limited configuration
// 9. Test behavior of last reply lost in a count-limited configuration.
