Client Server Communication in ns3

I want to simulate an UDP request-response application in ns3 by using 802.11n as communication technology, where a client/server A an access point AP and another server/client B exchange some messages (where each message has a particular size, i.e. 100, 130, 235 byte and so on):

*A*         AP          *B*


A------>AP

AP------>A

AP------>B


B------>AP

AP------>B

AP------>A


A------>B

B------->A

I followed this tutorial(https://www.nsnam.org/wiki/HOWTO_make_and_use_a_new_application) and I'm able to send and receive data with custom size but just for the first interaction. Furthermore I spent a lot of days to understand how can is possible modify the behavior of this application in order to simulate the aforementioned scenario. Are there any suggestions?

You don't need to create a new application. NS-3 already has applications that send traffic according to your specification (e.g. BulkSend Application, OnOff, and so on). Here's the link.

Regarding your application, it is very close to this same application using a client/server over wireless lan (link).

All you have to do is tweak the parameters. Let me know if you have any problems.
