+/**
+ * @file pg.h
+ *
+ * The packet generator is made of two entities, a client and a server.
+ * The client issues interests at high speed and the server satisfy each
+ * interest it receives with the corresponding data.
+ * The packet generator is made of three nodes:
+ * - hicnpg-interest that receives packets from a packet generator interface
+ *   and manipulate them to generate interests based on the given configuration.
+ *   This node runs at the client side.
+ * - hicnpg-data that receives data packets at the client side and counts them.
+ *   This is useful for statistics. The "show err" command will give the number
+ *   of interest issued and data received at the client side
+ * - hicnpg-server that recevies and interest and replies with the corresponding
+ *   data. The data is generated from the interest switching the src and destination
+ *   address in the packet and appending a payload to the packet.
+ *
+ *
+ * These three nodes are inserted in the vlib graph in the following manner:
+ * - hicnpg-interest is added as a possible next node of the pg-input node. The packet
+ *   generator stream then specifies it as next node.
+ * - hicnpg-data is added as next hop of the ip4/6-unicast node exploiting the corresponding
+ *   feature and it runs before the ip4/6-inacl node. In this way, every packet that is
+ *   received through an interface on which this feature is enabled is sent to this node.
+ * - hicnpg-server is added as next hop of the ip4/6-unicast using the corresponding
+ *   feature and it runs before the ip4/6-inacl node. In this way, every packet that is
+ *   received through an interface on which this feature is enabled is sent to this node.
+ *
+ * An example of how to use the pg for hicn is available in the documentation.
