+- **network/latency-factor**: apply a multiplier to latency.
+ Models the TCP slow-start mechanism.
+- **network/bandwidth-factor**: actual bandwidth perceived by the
+ user.
+- **network/weight-S**: bottleneck sharing constant parameter. Used
+ to calculate RTT.
+
+These parameters are the same for all communications in your simulation,
+independently of message size or source/destination hosts. A more flexible
+mechanism based on callbacks was introduced in SimGrid. It provides the user
+a callback that will be called for each communication, allowing the user
+to set different latency and bandwidth factors, based on the message size, links used
+or zones traversed. To more details of how to use it, please look at the
+`examples/cpp/network-factors/s4u-network-factors.cpp <https://framagit.org/simgrid/simgrid/tree/master/examples/cpp/network-factors/s4u-network-factors.cpp>`_.
