I don't have any real answers for you. I'd look at the interframe spacing and timing; see if it's due to big gaps in transmission/reception, see if it's something silly like AMPDU density being way too big, or maybe just lots of retries.
I'm sorry I can't be more helpful than this! -adrian On 11 October 2013 11:18, Ramanujan Seshadri <[email protected]> wrote: > It's in the NIC.
