[Ns-developers] GSoC 2009 - Minstrel rate control algorithm

[Ruben Merz]

Duy,

The GSOC project idea for rate control is actually to port and validate 
Minstrel. So yes, I expect applicants to consider this in their 
proposal. Minstrel is also planned to become the default rate control 
algorithm for 802.11 in Linux. So from a validation and comparison point 
of view, I think it would be very worthwhile to have Minstrel in ns-3.

Best
Ruben
