-# This script evaluates the IOAM insertion for IPv6 by checking the IOAM data
-# consistency directly inside packets on the receiver side. Tests are divided
-# into three categories: OUTPUT (evaluates the IOAM processing by the sender),
-# INPUT (evaluates the IOAM processing by a receiver) and GLOBAL (evaluates
-# wider use cases that do not fall into the other two categories). Both OUTPUT
-# and INPUT tests only use a two-node topology (alpha and beta), while GLOBAL
-# tests use the entire three-node topology (alpha, beta, gamma). Each test is
-# documented inside its own handler in the code below.
+# This script evaluates IOAM for IPv6 by checking local IOAM configurations and
+# IOAM data inside packets. There are three categories of tests: LOCAL, OUTPUT,
+# and INPUT. The former (LOCAL) checks all IOAM related configurations locally
+# without sending packets. OUTPUT tests verify the processing of an IOAM
+# encapsulating node, while INPUT tests verify the processing of an IOAM transit
+# node. Both OUTPUT and INPUT tests send packets. Each test is documented inside
+# its own handler.
 #
-# An IOAM domain is configured from Alpha to Gamma but not on the reverse path.
-# When either Beta or Gamma is the destination (depending on the test category),
-# Alpha adds an IOAM option (Pre-allocated Trace) inside a Hop-by-hop.
+# The topology used for OUTPUT and INPUT tests is made of three nodes:
+# - Alpha (the IOAM encapsulating node)
+# - Beta  (the IOAM transit node)
+# - Gamma (the receiver) **

+# ** Gamma is required because ioam6_parser.c uses a packet socket and we need
+#    to see IOAM data inserted by the very last node (Beta), which would happen
+#    _after_ we get a copy of the packet on Beta. Note that using an
+#    IPv6 raw socket with IPV6_RECVHOPOPTS on Beta would not be enough: we also
+#    need to access the IPv6 header to check some fields (e.g., source and
+#    destination addresses), which is not possible in that case. As a
+#    consequence, we need Gamma as a receiver to run ioam6_parser.c which uses a
+#    packet socket.
