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

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Ashiq


I have followed a similar wifi setup mentioned here:

This script is indeed using WifiNetDevice. Thus, your earlier claim of
ndn-stack-helper forcing the use of PointToPointNetDevice is false.

The problem I'm facing is that I can't obtain these collision lost packets

If you have tested the method given in
https://gist.github.com/ashiqopu/0346359297143866f1748322a9e6f125 in a
non-ndnSIM simulation script that operates the WifiNetDevice in the same
mode and using the same loss model, etc, I don’t see why it would not work
with this script.

Yours, Junxiao
