#    Description:
#      This is a utility script that can be used by developers to do
#    simulate a device and controller on the same linux machine. This
#    script is not intended to be used in a testing framework as-is
#    because it requires root access to set up network namespaces.
#
#    To use this script, compile the required device example, and
#    run inside the namespace using
#    sudo <path>/linux_ip_namespace_setup.sh -r <path_to_app>
#
#    The controller can then be started in a new terminal and will
#    be able to communicate with the application as if it were on
#    a separate network.
