Start/Stop is referring the the ApplicationContainer. This part is a bit confusing in NS-3 and our documentation didn't help either :-D If you can make update (it is in docs/sources/guide.....rst file) and push it in some form, it would so great.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>--</div><div>Alex</div><br class=""></body></html>
