// description: Multi-hop ad-hoc data dissemination protocol base on
// probabilistic broadcast: depending on application
// parameters and network status, each packet will
// go through a number of transmission attempts, each
// with a certain probability. How number of transmissions
// attempts and probability of forwarding are computed will
// be derived from the simulations of this protocol.

// Multi-hop ad-hoc data dissemination protocol based on probabilistic broadcast, with adaptive parameters.
//
// This protocol performs network-level broadcast using a probabilistic mechanism.
// This method reduces the number of packets sent on the channel (reducing the
// broadcast storm problem) at the risk of some nodes not receiving the data.
// It is particularly interesting for mobile networks.
// This version of probabilistic broadcast automatically adapts transmission
// probabilities depending on the estimated number of neighbours.
// timeInNeighboursTable is its unique parameter, and sets the time
// during which the node remembers a neighbour. It is particularly important
// in mobile networks: in that case, the faster the nodes, the smaller the
// timeInNeighboursTable parameter.
