// 
// This script configures two nodes on an 802.11b physical layer, with
// 802.11b NICs in infrastructure mode, and by default, the station sends 
// one packet of 1000 (application) bytes to the access point.  The 
// physical layer is configured
// to receive at a fixed RSS (regardless of the distance and transmit
// power); therefore, changing position of the nodes has no effect. 
//
// There are a number of command-line options available to control
// the default behavior.  The list of available command-line options
// can be listed with the following command:
// ./waf --run "wifi-simple-infra --help"
//
// For instance, for this configuration, the physical layer will
// stop successfully receiving packets when rss drops below -97 dBm.
// To see this effect, try running:
//
// ./waf --run "wifi-simple-infra --rss=-97 --numPackets=20"
// ./waf --run "wifi-simple-infra --rss=-98 --numPackets=20"
// ./waf --run "wifi-simple-infra --rss=-99 --numPackets=20"
//
// Note that all ns-3 attributes (not just the ones exposed in the below
// script) can be changed at command line; see the documentation.
//
// This script can also be helpful to put the Wifi layer into verbose
// logging mode; this command will turn on all wifi logging:
// 
// ./waf --run "wifi-simple-infra --verbose=1"
//
// When you are done, you will notice two pcap trace files in your directory.
// If you have tcpdump installed, you can try this:
//
// tcpdump -r wifi-simple-infra-0-0.pcap -nn -tt
