Hi All,

I’m emulating an 802.11b/g network (4 nodes) using the IEEE 802.11abg model and 
location events. So far so good, I can create the topology I need and nodes 
that are far away can’t see each other or experience packet loss accordingly to 
PCR curves. The problem I’m having is that the PCR curves for packets sent over 
proprietary protocols (they have their own ether type value) don’t seem to have 
any effect on them. For example, in my topology, nodes A and B have a POR of 
about 60% based on the SINR of the link. If I run “ping” (ICMP), I see about 
40% packet loss, which is correct. But if I run my proprietary protocol, I see 
0% packet loss. Now, if nodes are too far away so that frames are dropped at 
the PHY layer, I see 100% packet loss in both cases as expected.

So, the question is: does PCR curves only apply for ARP or IP datagrams, for 
example? Or do they apply for all protocols and I’m just missing something 
about the configuration?

Thanks,
Adrian
