//
// Models Telnet sessions with a specific user behaviour.
// The server app should be ~TCPGenericSrvApp.
// Compatible with both ~IPv4 and ~IPv6.
//
// NOTE: This module emulates a very specific user behaviour, and as such,
// it should be viewed as an example rather than a generic Telnet model.
// If you want to model realistic Telnet traffic, you are encouraged
// to gather statistics from packet traces on a real network, and
// write your model accordingly.
//
// <b>Configuring App</b>
//
// The module parameter dataTransferMode should be set the transfer mode in TCP layer.
// Currently you have three choices:
//
//   -# set them to "bytecount".
//      This mode manages "virtual bytes", that is, only byte counts are
//      transmitted over the TCP connection and no actual data. cMessage
//      contents, and even message boundaries are not preserved with these
//      classes: for example, if the client sends a single cMessage with
//      length = 1 megabyte over TCP, the receiver-side client will see a
//      sequence of MSS-sized messages.
//
//   -# use "object", which transmits
//      cMessage objects (and subclasses) over a TCP connection. The same
//      message object sequence that was sent by the client to the
//      sender-side TCP entity will be reproduced on the receiver side.
//      If a client sends a cMessage with length = 1 megabyte, the
//      receiver-side client will receive the same message object (or a clone)
//      after the TCP entities have completed simulating the transmission
//      of 1 megabyte over the connection. This is a different behaviour
//      from TCPVirtualDataSendQueue/RcvQueue.
//      This mode is not implemented in ~TCP_NSC yet.
//
//   -# use "bytestream", which transmits real bytes of messages.
