/**
 * In the previous models, `tic' and `toc' immediately sent back the
 * received message. Here we'll add some timing: tic and toc will hold the
 * message for 1 simulated second before sending it back. In OMNeT++
 * such timing is achieved by the module sending a message to itself.
 * Such messages are called self-messages (but only because of the way they
 * are used, otherwise they are completely ordinary messages) or events.
 * Self-messages can be "sent" with the scheduleAt() function, and you can
 * specify when they should arrive back at the module.
 *
 * We leave out the counter, to keep the source code small.
