/**
 * This is a simple example in order to show how 802.11n compressed block ack mechanism could be
 * used.
 *
 * Network topology:
 *
 *  Wifi 192.168.1.0
 *
 *        AP
 *   *    *
 *   |    |
 *   n1   n2
 *
 * In this example a QoS sta sends UDP datagram packets to access point. On the access point
 * there is no application installed so it replies to every packet with an ICMP frame. However
 * our attention is on originator sta n1. We have set blockAckThreshold (minimum number of packets
 * to use block ack) to 2 so if there are in the BestEffort queue more than 2 packets a block ack
 * will be negotiated. We also set a timeout for block ack inactivity to 3 blocks of 1024
 * microseconds. This timer is reset when:
 *    - the originator receives a block ack frame.
 *    - the recipient receives a block ack request or a MPDU with ack policy Block Ack.
