// Test the operation of a wifi manager as the SNR is varied, and create
// a gnuplot output file for plotting.
//
// The test consists of a device acting as server and a device as client generating traffic.
//
// The output consists of a plot of the rate observed and selected at the client device.
//
// By default, the 802.11a standard using IdealWifiManager is plotted. Several command line
// arguments can change the following options:
// --wifiManager (Aarf, Aarfcd, Amrr, Arf, Cara, Ideal, Minstrel, MinstrelHt, Onoe, Rraa, ThompsonSampling)
// --standard (802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11p-10MHz, 802.11p-5MHz, 802.11n-5GHz, 802.11n-2.4GHz, 802.11ac, 802.11ax-6GHz, 802.11ax-5GHz, 802.11ax-2.4GHz)
// --serverShortGuardInterval and --clientShortGuardInterval (for 802.11n/ac)
// --serverNss and --clientNss (for 802.11n/ac)
// --serverChannelWidth and --clientChannelWidth (for 802.11n/ac)
// --broadcast instead of unicast (default is unicast)
// --rtsThreshold (by default, value of 99999 disables it)
