Chun-Yeow,
Did you mean that you fix the tx rate in rc?
I did not fix the rate in rc but rather achieved MCS7 by pysically connecting the antenna ports between two STA's.

STA A (port1) ----- 50dB atten ------ STA B (port1)

The rate control then settled on MCS7 (150Mbps) on each STA.
The stream that I
mentioned is iperf parallel stream (-P).
Iperf parallel streams:
# iperf -c 192.168.11.2 -p 7777 -u -b 150m -t 10 -i 1 -P10

As you can see the overall throughput and datagram loss is similar to the iperf single parallel case shown in previous posts.
Anyway, based on the rc statistic, I think that your transmission has
almost no loss using HT40/SGI MCS7.
Could you help me understand how you arrived at that conclusion from the two rc_stats dumps? What about the difference between the sender station (A) and the receiver station (B) rc_stats dumps? For example the throughput on A seems to be 2x B. I am not sure what this means.
Please bear in mind that the
achievable throughput via iperf is not related to PHY rate. You
probably can get 130Mbps since iperf is L3 throughput measurement.
How do I estimate the PHY rate? Can you suggest some tools/techniques for measurements on L2/L3?

Thanks for all of your help,

-Stephen
