/**
* End-to-end integration check for the opt-in VOQ + fabric Traffic Manager
* datapath in the V1model switch core.
*
* A full bmv2 P4 program (simple_v1model IPv4 forwarding) cannot be booted
* inside the ns-3 unit-test runner (bmv2's per-context PHV pools crash there),
* so this end-to-end check ships as a self-validating example instead, matching
* how every other P4-program scenario in this module is exercised.
*
* Topology (mirrors p4-v1model-ipv4-forwarding):
*
* host0 ──[SwitchedEthernetChannel port 0]──┐
* ├── P4SwitchNetDevice (switch)
* host1 ──[SwitchedEthernetChannel port 1]──┘
*
* The same UDP flow (host0 -> host1) is run twice:
* 1. legacy output-queued datapath (EnableVoqFabric = false, the default);
* 2. VOQ + fabric datapath (EnableVoqFabric = true).
*
* The program asserts:
* - the VOQ run instantiates a Traffic Manager and actually moves traffic
* through it (VOQ enqueue + wire serialisation counters are non-zero);
* - the legacy run instantiates NO Traffic Manager (additive contract);
* - both datapaths deliver the same offered load (functional parity).
*
* Exit code 0 = all checks passed; non-zero = a check failed.
