If there's a B user in the cell, the *control* traffic needs to be at B rates. During time slices given to G clients, it's not necessary that the *data* traffic be understandable by the B client.... David Gillett

Also, if a B radio associates to a G AP then the usable throughput drops to ~8 meg. I was advised today that, due to recent enhancements (within the last year?), a B user in a G cell no longer lowers the bandwidth <24meg. for all G users in the cell. It doesn't sound right to me.....can anyone comment on these 'enhancements' (if they do exist?) ..........thx.................J James Savage York University Senior Communications Tech. 108 Steacie Building [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4700 Keele Street ph: 416-736-2100 ext. 22605 Toronto, Ontario fax: 416-736-5701 M3J 1P3, CANADA ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
