 - **Wireless Network Interfaces**: Representations of network interfaces connected physical devices like routers, computers, or IoT devices that can send and receive data wirelessly.
-- **Environmental Settings**: Different types of environments (e.g., urban, rural) that affect signal propagation and interference.
-- **Channel Management**: Handles channels and their widths (e.g., 20 MHz, 40 MHz) to determine data transmission over different frequencies.
-- **Bandwidth Management**: Tracks data transmission over channels to prevent overloading and simulate real-world network congestion.

-3. AirSpace Environment Types
------------------------------
 
-The AirspaceEnvironmentType is a critical component that simulates different physical environments:
-
-- Urban, Suburban, Rural, etc.
-- Each type simulates different levels of electromagnetic interference and signal propagation characteristics.
-- Changing the AirspaceEnvironmentType impacts data rates by affecting the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
-
-4. Simulation of Environment Changes
-------------------------------------
-
-When an AirspaceEnvironmentType is set or changed, the AirSpace:
-
-1. Recalculates the maximum data transmission capacities for all managed frequencies and channel widths.
-2. Updates all wireless interfaces to reflect new capacities.
-
-5. Managing Wireless Network Interfaces
+3. Managing Wireless Network Interfaces
 ---------------------------------------
 
 - Interfaces can be dynamically added or removed.
 - Configurations can be changed in real-time.
-- The AirSpace handles data transmissions, ensuring data sent by an interface is received by all other interfaces on the same frequency and channel.

-6. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) Calculation
-------------------------------------------
 
-SNR is crucial in determining the quality of a wireless communication channel:
-
-.. math::
-
-   SNR = \frac{\text{Signal Power}}{\text{Noise Power}}
-
-- Impacted by environment type, frequency, and channel width
-- Higher SNR indicates a clearer signal, leading to higher data transmission rates
-
-7. Total Channel Capacity Calculation
--------------------------------------
-
-Channel capacity is calculated using the Shannon-Hartley theorem:
-
-.. math::
-
-   C = B \cdot \log_2(1 + SNR)
-
-Where:
-
-- C: channel capacity in bits per second (bps)
-- B: bandwidth of the channel in hertz (Hz)
-- SNR: signal-to-noise ratio
-
-Implementation in AirSpace:
-
-1. Convert channel width from MHz to Hz.
-2. Recalculate SNR based on new environment or interface settings.
-3. Apply Shannon-Hartley theorem to determine new maximum channel capacity in Mbps.
-
-8. Shared Maximum Capacity Across Devices
------------------------------------------
-
-While individual devices have theoretical maximum data rates, the actual achievable rate is often less due to:
-
-- Shared wireless medium among all devices on the same frequency and channel width
-- Interference and congestion from multiple devices transmitting simultaneously
-

 - ``show_wireless_interfaces()``: Displays current state of all interfaces
-- ``show_bandwidth_load()``: Shows channel loads and bandwidth utilization
