Yes, well, there's not really one rate to report for each station, since Minstrel jumps about a bit and tries different ones. > As a benchmark, if you know the physical rates assuming they are also > optimally chosen (by minstrel for instance ) and stations don't move, > the long term throughout can be computed ( e.g. for TCP ) assuming air > time fairness.

These are the same numbers that the scheduler uses to make scheduling decisions. It seems like the scheduler does help somewhat, but is not perfect yet. Am definitely lacking a good ground truth to compare against, though. Computing the expected throughput might be possible, since minstrel does report statistics for how many packets were transmitted at each rate. Will look into it; thanks for the suggestion :) -Toke -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
