Hi Pasquale

That sounds awesome! We are still at a fairly early stage in terms of
algorithm development (still exploring options), but having an ns3
implementation will definitely be useful once we get something a bit
more concrete :)

I'm not terribly familiar with the capabilities of ns3 in the wifi
space. Could you provide an overview of what parts of 802.11 are
implemented in ns3 and how rate control hooks into that? And maybe how
it compares to Linux, if you are familiar with that?
