configs,mem-ruby: SimpleNetwork physical channels
Setting the physical_vnets_channels parameter enables the emulation of
the bandwidth impact of having multiple physical channels for each
virtual network. This is implemented by computing bandwidth in a
per-vnet/channel basis within Throttle objects. The size of the
message buffers are also scaled according to this setting (when buffer
are not unlimited).
The physical_vnets_bandwidth can be used to override the channel width
set for each link and assign different widths for each virtual network.
The --simple-physical-channels option can be used with the generic
configuration scripts to automatically assign a single physical channel
to each virtual network defined in the protocol.
