Hi, Thanks for the reply.
Setup is simple PC1 <wired> STA <Wireless> AP <Wired Gateway> PC2. Multicast traffic is going from PC1 to PC2. So, rate control algorithm is there in hardware or in driver itself ?. I have snifffe the packet using aeropic and found that the rate in multicast frame is more that 6 Mbps.
