RE: [smartBridges] RTS / CTS

[Seeni Mohamed]

The RTS/CTS adjustment is required ONLY in the CPE devices when there is poor performance due to MULTIPATH INTERFERENCE and many HIDDEN NODES which will result in packet loss. Sometimes when we deal with higher interference then we need to lower down the RTS/CTS values to improve the efficiency in the packet transmission which avoids the packet loss. Normally, RTS/CTS adjustment is NOT required in the AP side. RTS/CTS only comes into play when a client is transmitting and it does nothing for the receive traffic.   Kind regards, Seeni sB Tech Support   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of TJ Burbank Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 9:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] RTS / CTS   I am curious what the best values for a network with 30 bridges per AP, and a 1.5MB backbone would be.    I guess I am not certain if changing the RTS / CTS values on customer bridges will help in increasing netork load and capacity.   If you change the RTS / CTS values on the CPE is is neccesary to change them on the AP?   Thanks,   -TJ Last Mile Wireless
