// This example considers two hidden stations in an 802.11n network which supports MPDU aggregation.
// The user can specify whether RTS/CTS is used and can set the number of aggregated MPDUs.

// Example: ./waf --run "simple-ht-hidden-stations --enableRts=1 --nMpdus=8"
//
// Network topology:
//
//   Wifi 192.168.1.0
//
//        AP
//   *    *    *
//   |    |    |
//   n1   n2   n3
//
// Packets in this simulation aren't marked with a QosTag so they are considered
// belonging to BestEffort Access Class (AC_BE).
