-/*
- * A program to simulate various queue-drop strategies, using real frame
- * arrival data as input. Contains various anchors, as well as parametrized
- * values of the real algorithms that have been used in Nageru over time.
- *
- * Expects a log of frame arrivals (in and out). This isn't included in the
- * git repository because it's quite large, but there's one available 
- * in compressed form at
- *
- *   https://storage.sesse.net/nageru-latency-log.txt.xz
- *
- * The data set in question contains a rather difficult case, with two 50 Hz
- * clocks slowly drifting from each other (at the rate of about a frame an hour).
- * This means they are very nearly in sync for a long time, where rare bursts
- * of jitter can make it hard for the algorithm to find the right level of
- * conservatism.
- *
- * This is not meant to be production-quality code.
