 * By default this script creates m_xSize * m_ySize square grid topology with
 * IEEE802.11s stack installed at each node with peering management
 * and HWMP protocol.
 * The side of the square cell is defined by m_step parameter.
 * When topology is created, UDP ping is installed to opposite corners
 * by diagonals. packet size of the UDP ping and interval between two
 * successive packets is configurable.
