Detailed Description

The virtual capability information base is a global blackboard accessible by any node in the simulation. It can be used to easily exchange information about capabilities without the (regular) way of exchanging management information requests and replies.

One example of the usage of this information base is the exchange of the number of antennas for MIMO transmissions: To determine the optimal number of streams, the transmitter has to know the number of antennas at the receiver. In reality, this information is exchanged via management frames. If for a particular evaluation this information exchange is not relevant for the simulation results itself, it can be made "magic", i.e. use this information base instead transmitting packets.
