  Run an Iperf client on the Right node with 10 parallel TCP connections (use the -P option), connecting to an Iperf server on the Left node for 60 seconds. Simultaneously, run a 20 Mbps UDP Iperf client on the Top node connecting to an UDP Iperf server session running on the Left node for 60 seconds.
-  '''1. Question:''' What are the throughput shown by the UDP and TCP Iperf server sessions? Why are they what they are?
-  '''2. Question:''' Provide the necessary steps and commands to enable queueing disciplines that enforce fairness among all the 11 flows in the network, and demonstrate that your solution is effective.

-  What is the goodput without SACK? In what circumstances is SACK most beneficial? Remember that, due to the random nature of loss events, these experiments must be repeated at least five times to draw any conclusions.
