// This is a simple example in order to show how 802.11n MSDU aggregation feature works.
// The throughput is obtained for a given number of aggregated MSDUs.
//
// The number of aggregated MSDUs can be chosen by the user through the nMsdus attibute.
// A value of 1 means that no MSDU aggregation is performed.
//
// Example: ./waf --run "simple-msdu-aggregation --nMsdus=5"
//
// Network topology:
//
//   Wifi 192.168.1.0
//
//        AP
//   *    *
//   |    |
//   n1   n2
//
// Packets in this simulation aren't marked with a QosTag so they are considered
// belonging to BestEffort Access Class (AC_BE).
