/*
* The SimpleNetwork class implements the interconnection
* SimpleNetwork between components (processor/cache components and
* memory/directory components). The interconnection network as
* described here is not a physical network, but a programming concept
* used to implement all communication between components. Thus parts
* of this 'network' may model the on-chip connections between cache
* controllers and directory controllers as well as the links between
* chip and network switches.
*
* Two conceptual networks, an address and data network, are modeled.
* The data network is unordered, where the address network provides
* and conforms to a global ordering of all transactions.
*
* Currently the data network is point-to-point and the address
* network is a broadcast network. These two distinct conceptual
* network can be modeled as physically separate networks or
* multiplexed over a single physical network.
*
* The network encapsulates all notion of virtual global time and is
* responsible for ordering the network transactions received. This
* hides all of these ordering details from the processor/cache and
* directory/memory modules.
*
* FIXME: Various flavor of networks are provided as a compiler time
* configurable. We currently include this SimpleNetwork in the
* makefile's vpath, so that SimpleNetwork.cc can provide an alternative
* version constructor for the abstract Network class. It is easy to
* modify this to make network a runtime configuable. Just make the
* abstract Network class take a enumeration parameter, and based on
* that to initial proper network. Or even better, just make the ruby
* system initializer choose the proper network to initiate.
