* Network Coding Network Simulator
*

*
* This simulator is designed to test out the performance of a variety of network coding approaches.
*
* It simulates networks with dynamic topologies, reading from NS2 compatible node mobility files.
* I assume that:
*　　- wireless nodes are effected by a simple exponentially distributed noise floor.
*　　- latency = distance x speed of light + fixed processing time + random jitter.
*
* These assumptions can be easily changed in the code below.
*
* The simulator is a simple discrete event-based simulator like NS2, GloMoSim and others but designed specifically to support
* my network coding experiments. It has callbacks for 'transmit buffer empty' and may eventually support 'in air' collisions
* of packets and multiple radio channels. I didn't want to have to build upon the unnecessary MAC layers that exist in the
* other simulators.
*
* The network coding module in rlnc.h implements basic block encoding and decoding as well as block generation by intermediate
* nodes that have received partial data.
