-### a. Additions to iw
-Several "extensions" have been added to iw:
-* Persistent sockets: pyw provides the caller with functions & ability to pass
-their own netlink (or ioctl socket) to pyw functions;
-* One-time request for the nl80211 family id: pyw stores the family id in a
-global variable
-* Consolidating different "reference" values to wireless NICs in one class
-(Cards are tuples t=(dev,phy #,ifindex)

-These are minimal changes but they can improve the performance of any progams
-that needs to access the wireless nic repeatedly as shown in the table below.

-The table shows benchmarks for hop time on a Alfa AWUS036NH 10000 times. Note that
-there is no implication that PyRIC is faster than iw. Rather, the table shows that
-PyRIC is faster than using Popen to execute iw. Using one-time sockets, there is
-a difference of 28 seconds over Popen and iw with a small decrease in the average
-hoptime. Not a big difference. However, the performance increased dramatically when
-persistent netlink sockets are used with the total time and average hop time nearly
-halved.

+WHAT IS PyRIC?
 To avoid confusion, PyRIC is the system as a whole, including all header files
 and "libraries" that are required to communicate with the kernel. pyw is a
 interface to these libraries providing specific funtions.
