title: How to calculate the throughput in the "throughput" example of INET?
body: <p>I am considering the idea of using Inet/omnet++ to evaluate a routing algorithm we are working on. Since I am using the tool for the first time, I was executing some examples and reading the source code.
  Then I found an example, which is shipped with inet, /inet/examples/wireless/throughput.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that I don't get the same values.</p>
  
  <p>In the README file one can read:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"Throughput is measured by the "sink" submodule of the AP. It is recorded
  into the output scalar file, but can also be inspected during runtime.
  
  The Excel sheet includes throughput measured by the simulation, and compares
  it to the theoretical maximum which is roughly 5.12 Mbps (at 11 Mbps bitrate
  and 1000-byte packets). The theoretical value and the simulation output
  are very close, the difference being less than 1 kbps."
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The same value is presented in Timing.xls</p>
  
  <p>However, I obtain a different value when I execute the simulation: 846266 bit/sec</p>
  
  <p>Do I need to perform some additional calculation to obtain the final value of throughput?</p>
  
  <p>Is that a bug?</p>
  
  <p>Is the value no longer valid due to some modification in INET?</p>
