\section{Running your first simulation}
To run a simulation, at least 2 files are required: 1) a platform file 2) a node implementation
-source code. The platform file defines the simulated network platform and sets various simulation
-parameters. The node implementation source code simply provide the logic of the simulated nodes.

\subsection{Platform file}
-Platform files are written in YAML and contains 3 sections: 1) \textit{general} 2) \textit{nodes} 3) \textit{interfaces}.
-The \textit{general} section is optional but all the others must be present. Here is a simple platform file to simulate 2 wireless nodes:
