/**
 * \ingroup wifi
 * Type of elements stored in a WifiMacQueue container.
 *
 * Such elements can be accessed by the WifiMacQueue (via iterators) and
 * by the WifiMpdu itself (via the iterator it stores).
 *
 * Data frames transmitted by an 11be MLD must include link addresses as (RA, TA)
 * which are different than the MLD addresses seen by the upper layer. In order
 * to keep the original version of the data frame, we create an alias when a data
 * frame is sent over a link. Aliases are stored in the map of in-flight MPDUs, which
 * is indexed by the ID of the link over which the alias is in-flight.
 * For consistency, also data frame transmitted by non-MLDs have an alias, which is
 * simply a pointer to the original version of the data frame.
