\begin{abstract}

\begin{itemize}
    \item Connectivity in the 3rd world is terrible
    \items WMNs help this, and trying out different SDN-WMN architectures is critical to building better systems at scale
    \item Simulating WMNs at scale is fraught with tricky details
    \item We solved the tricky details and increased the complexity of the system we could simulate from X to Y. (\fixme need a definition of complexity) 
\end{itemize}

\section{Scalability Improvements}

\begin{itemize}
    \item Discuss GCE implementation
    \item Go through, in detail, the different problems and solutions you implemented to up the number of nodes.
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}
    \item GRAPH: # nodes vs. runtime
    \item GRAPH: Runtime change with distributed vs. SDN models
    \item GRAPH: 
\end{itemize}

\section{Discussion}
\begin{itemize}
    \item Talk about why the architecture choices you made worked.
    \item Discuss what you'd do to parallelize across multiple machines
\end{itemize}
