// This is a simple example in order to show how to configure an IEEE 802.11be Wi-Fi network.
//
// It outputs the UDP or TCP goodput for every EHT MCS value, which depends on the MCS value (0 to
// 13), the channel width (20, 40, 80, 160 or 320 MHz) and the guard interval (800ns, 1600ns or
// 3200ns). The PHY bitrate is constant over all the simulation run. The user can also specify the
// distance between the access point and the station: the larger the distance the smaller the
// goodput.
//
// The simulation assumes a configurable number of stations in an infrastructure network:
//
//  STA     AP
//    *     *
//    |     |
//   n1     n2
//
// Packets in this simulation belong to BestEffort Access Class (AC_BE).
// By selecting an acknowledgment sequence for DL MU PPDUs, it is possible to aggregate a
// Round Robin scheduler to the AP, so that DL MU PPDUs are sent by the AP via DL OFDMA.
