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