[ndnSIM] How to obtain packets lost due to collision in WiFi

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Ashiq

PointToPointNetDevice has no possibility of collisions, because there are
only two net devices on a PointToPointChannel and the channel allows
full-duplex communication.
If you want WiFi related counters, use WifiNetDevice instead. It can’t
model inter-channel interference, but otherwise is quite close to a real
WiFi network.

If the only issue is a “stack helper”: you don’t have to use any helper in
a ns-3 script. Just manually create and aggregate the objects, and set the
attributes.
I believe ndnSIM 2.1 has some assertions about the type of NetDevice is
PointToPointNetDevice in the routing implementation. If it’s still there in
more recent version, you might have to setup routing manually.

Yours, Junxiao
