Name	Description
SensorApplLayer (simple module)	@brief Application layer to test lower layer implementations. SensorApplLayer waits a time initializationTime, then starts sending nbPackets (of size headerLength) to host destAddr. The time intervals between two packets can follow three distributions: periodic (fixed), uniform or exponential.
