Hi,
I have implemented the patch for increasing the multicast rate (from
git: {nl,cfg,mac}80211:
Allow Setting Multicast Rate in Mesh).
While testing using iperf, I found out that:
1. When there are only 2 mesh devices (1 is the multicast server and the
other is the client) in the network, I can get up to 14Mbps if the
mcast-rate is configured to 54Mbps.
2. I then added another mesh device on to the network (multicast rate set
to 54Mbps also). But this mesh device is not sending any multicast packet
to the server. The rate I observed was 10Mbps between the 2 mesh devices
above in 1.
3. I proceeded to add the 4th mesh device (also multicast rate set to
54Mbps, and not sending multicast packet to the server), observed rate
dropped to 8Mbps between the server and the single client.
Is this expected? Why does the presence of other mesh devices in the
network (even though not sending multicast packet) affects the rate between
the server and client?
Thanks and best regards,
Putri.
